Greg Baker is a multi-award winning artist living in the Hills of Perth in Western Australia. His paintings might be characterized as Impressionist or Post-Impressionist, genealogically related to the great masters of late 18th and early 19th century Europe. His concern is with capturing the visual impression of the moment, particularly in terms of light and colour.

His skills are unusually diverse and the range and breadth of his subject matter is extraordinary. He has mastered the spectrum of visual art mediums and is celebrated for his oils, pastels, acrylics and watercolours. His paintings are figurative, and embrace the human form and still-life, as well as much-acclaimed landscapes and cityscapes. Some artists are limited by a recognisable palette. Greg's palette responds faithfully to the demands of place and time.

From Greg's paintings you can recognise two particular loves in his life. First, the coastal waters of Western Australia, particularly around Rottnest Island, allow him to display a remarkable ability to paint the play of light on water; and second, his annual pilgrimages to Europe provide him with the opportunity to capture its countryside, villages and cities, particularly Paris and Venice, with an outsider's eye and a devotee's heart.

Greg's paintings have been shown in exhibitions in London, Berlin, Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as throughout Australia. His many commissions include works for corporate collections such as Shell, Woodside and Rio Tinto. Overseas commissions include the Sultanate of Oman.

In order to share his skills he runs unique art tours where students live on and travel by barge along the canals of Europe. Greg Baker, whose paintings former Premier Geoff Gallop called "Wonderful works of art," is a West Australian to be proud of.
