Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhbition at Western CT State University
Dan Baker, of Danbury, is an interdisciplinary artist who works in multiple practices, including photography, printmaking, painting, drawing and collage. In 2021, he earned a B.A. in Photography from WCSU, where he is currently pursuing an M.F.A. in Interdisciplinary Visual Art. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at WCSU, he has worked in several advanced photography courses. “My work in the exhibition shows the ups and downs of everything that I have faced within my education. By mixing my background in photography, I attempt to show the emotion that I felt to create these works. I mix the mediums that I use to show what I want to express,” Baker said.
His work was exhibited at the Brookfield Craft Center in 2021 and at WCSU in “Covering Blue Note (1 & 2),” collaborative shows with the WCSU Department of Art and Department of Music in 2019. Baker’s short film, entitled “Perfect Lovers,” was shown on “The Marty Heiser Show” and “The Chris Pante Show” on Danbury, Bethel and Ridgefield Television. Upcoming in May 2023, he will have a solo exhibition of mixed media works at Art in Common Gallery, Ridgefield.
