Margo Baker is a Louisiana artist whose practice is grounded in painting and expands through collage, mixed media, and material exploration. Working primarily in oil and acrylic, she shifts between mediums over time, using each as a tool for organizing thought, memory, and creative inquiry. Collage functions as a central extension of her painting practice, where layered compositions emerge through processes of deconstruction and reconstruction, piece by piece. 
Baker works across canvas, paper, and plasma-cut reclaimed tin, combining oil on metal and canvas with acrylic-painted paper that is cut and reassembled into collage. Through these processes, she builds richly layered surfaces shaped by intuition, structure, and material transformation. Her work is informed by the natural world, the shifting light and atmosphere of South Louisiana, and family histories and cultural memory. Color serves as a central organizing force within her compositions, functioning as both emotional language and structural element. Baker is also an active teaching artist committed to fostering creativity and connection through workshops and arts education.
