Imagining Flora and Fauna: Oleda Baker, A Naive Painter
Jun 12, 09 - Aug 23, 09
5 p.m. - 7 p.m., Opening Reception on June 12th; Museum of Florida
Art (Chris Harris Permanent Collection Gallery), 600 North Woodland
Blvd., DeLand. Exhibit hours are Tuesday - Saturday 10-4 and
Sunday 1-4. Oleda Baker's naive works evoke a dreamlike state.
If one were to describe her paintings, one might say they were
mysterious with the viewer having a sense of being part of the
picture. At the very least, Oleda's creations do not leave the
viewer's emotions untouched. Her style is of soft edges and
rounded shapes. She paints what she imagines, sometimes specific,
most times surreal, but always from her feelings. One feels drawn
in to the suggestion of a deeper narrative that seems to lurk
within the decorative elements of these fine art fantasies. For
information call (386) 734-4371 or visit www.MuseumOfFloridaArt.com.
