Artist biography
Natasha Baker is an Australian contemporary realist artist. Working from her home studio nestled in Western Australia’s tranquil Swan Valley, Natasha derives her work directly from nature, observation and stillness.
Primarily working alla prima in oils, Natasha creates radiant still life paintings, often featuring her favourite metal vessels and fresh fruits, alongside delicate, emotive renderings of birds and animals.
Deeply influenced by the Old Masters, Natasha’s work is an elegant exploration of light, form and quiet presence, each piece revealing a subtle complexity that invites pause and introspection.
With a growing presence in domestic and international collections, Natasha’s work resonates with audiences worldwide, a testament to the enduring power of timeless, classical realism.
Recent awards include an Honourable Mention for Oil Painting at the Western Australian Society of Arts 2026 Annual Exhibition and Third for Animals in the Pastel Society of Australia Annual Online Exhibition 2026.
“The beauty in this world is as infinite as our shared vision of it.” ~ Natasha
Captivated by the process of painting light, Natasha focuses on compositions with strong directional illumination, from contemporary pieces exploring reflections, transformations or a touch of abstraction, to the rich contrasts of traditional chiaroscuro. Through these themes, and with careful observation and a meticulous process, she seeks to elevate the beauty of everyday moments, encouraging viewers to find stillness and contemplation in a fast-paced world.
If you’re like me, and value the tradition, elegance and superb craftsmanship of the old masters, then you will appreciate the meticulous processes and quality pigments I use to create each painting.
“Collectors often tell me the piece they bought years ago still surprises them- different light, different mood, a new detail they never noticed. That’s the magic I want you to experience: art that keeps unfolding over time.”
"Creating my art is all about capturing light; the soft glow of old silver, the light glancing off polished brass, the shimmering reflections on a polished board, or the radiant glow of sunlight passing through a translucent fruit.
Beauty exists all around us... Sometimes it just needs the right light to be seen." ~ Natasha
“I see collectors as part of the creative process. I may place the brushstrokes on the canvas, but the art isn’t complete until it has found its home on you walls, enhancing the way you feel in your own spaces.”
“Not every piece will speak to every person. And that is as it should be, because when the right piece finds the right collector, it’s like recognition. You don’t choose it - it chooses you.”
"I create with a very specific person in mind: someone who values depth, authenticity, and resonance. When your heart knows my work, your're the one I was creating for."
"Beauty Awakens the soul to act" ~ Dante Alighieri - Italian poet and philosopher (1265–1321)

“A Radiant burst of joy on my wall”
"I purchased this beautiful still life online. I saw it and I had to have it. When the painting arrived and I unwrapped it, I was blown away. The quality of the original artwork is amazing. It's impact is so much more than the online images. The depth of color and luminosity of the fruit is just fabulous. It has transformed my kitchen, I love it so much!”
