STELLA MARIA BAER
Stella Maria Baer is a painter and photographer from Santa Fe, New Mexico.
In her work she explores her memory of growing up in the desert, tracing her origins back to the dusts of canyons where her mother took her camping when she was little.
For the past nine years she has worked to create a body of work with three veins: paintings of moons and planets, photographs of desert landscapes, and surrealist portraits of women and children riding animals under the western sky. Her practice looks at the relationship between how we see women and how we treat land, between memory and cosmology, in paintings made from dirt and rock, in photographs of nudes in desert canyons, in the earth pigment bodies of women and children riding birds and horses at sunrise.
Stella's paintings and photographs have been featured by The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Time Magazine, Scientific American, Architectural Digest, Sunset Magazine, Westword, and ArtNews. Her pieces are in public, private, and museum collections all over the world.
Stella lives on a little ranch south of Santa Fe with her husband Seth and their three children, Wyeth, Whitman, and Winona, appaloosa horses named Sun and Moon, and a flock of curly goats.
EXHIBITIONS AT FOLKLORE STUDIO
-
A collection of works by contemporary artists who create with earth, mineral, and botanical pigments; featuring Stella Maria Baer, Alysha Colangeli, Heather Bird Harris, and Meg Jorgenson. Each artist's works draw from a deep connection to the land, and are made from the earth by hand. This show reveals the interconnectedness of all things: our bodies, the earth, the plants, the celestial spheres, made of one and the same elements.
Show title EARTHLY BODIES written by Stella Maria Baer.
August 26 to October 8, 2023
