Baker's paintings are interwoven with the natural light and subtle emotion. They are highly textural and expressive of a personal dialogue with nature. She paints vivid colors, variety of values, and crisp edges as she aims to capture the qualities of light. Baker is skilled at using color not only to render form but to create great depth in the picture plane. Her paintings are clearly recognizable by their dramatic skies and full-palette hues.

All her work is rendered entirely in soft pastel which she likes for its direct application, tactile quality, portability, color variations, luminosity, and calligraphy of line. Her paintings are composites of many visual resources. She works both in the studio and outdoors, creating finished pieces from plein air color studies, sketches, photo references and more importantly, her imagination, which she believes produces paintings most expressive of an "inner landscape". Her favorite light of the day to capture in a landscape painting is late afternoon when the sun is at a low angle, yielding shadows and warm colors. Below are just samples of her work.
