Nadine Baker lives and works in Kingston, Ontario.

Trained professionally as an illustrator and visual artist in Toronto, with a graduate business degree, Nadine’s passion for the arts and community eventually led her to arts management. As a founding Board Member for the Tett Centre of Creativity and Learning, a non-profit arts organization, she played an integral part in its creation and success, becoming Director for its first 7 years. Respected as one Kingston’s key community arts leaders, she felt privileged to be Chairperson of the City of Kingston’s Arts Advisory Committee during the most challenging years of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nadine’s immersion into the local arts scene has come full circle since retirement. Returning her to roots as a visual artist herself, and determined to prove that age has no limits creatively, Nadine now generates dynamic work in a variety of mediums from her home studio. She finds inspiration in the natural world;  applying a touch of dream-like impressionistic qualities to her pieces. She particularly enjoys the challenge of upending the perception and value of acrylic paint and its versatility and underrated richness.

Nadine has produced commissioned work and has participated in several Kingston and Ottawa area fine art exhibitions and competitions. An avid plein air artist, she has partnered with small businesses in Prince Edward County to integrate business and the arts. In 2025, she hopes to further develop relationships melding different sectors together in Southern Ontario.
