Hana Baker

I live in Winthrop, WA with my husband Tyler and our two children, Tova and Haakon.

My paintings are inspired by the community, landscape, and changing seasons of the Methow Valley where I live as well as by Rie Muñoz, a favorite Alaskan watercolor artist. I use watercolors to create my paintings, and hope my viewers will gain a smile from either a personal connection to or an understanding of the simple joy found within the captured scene.

When I'm not using my paintbrush I can be found inspiring young minds as an elementary teacher, playing with my kids, spending long days in the mountains, jumping into high alpine lakes, skiing, trail-running, climbing, tending to my zinnias, baking pies for friends, exploring rugged coastlines, and sleeping outside under the stars.
