About Samantha Dion Baker

I am originally from Philadelphia, where I grew up in a family of artists. Throughout childhood, I would spend afternoons drawing in my grandmother’s sculpture studio, and I would watch my mother make intricate illustrations on her drafting table at home. I attended The Cooper Union in New York City, where I studied everything from design to printmaking, having a desire to learn and experiment with as much as possible before settling on a design career. I then spent over twenty years working as a graphic designer in Toronto and New York City, with a strong focus in the art world. In my early forties, I began to draw again, and through a regular sketchbook practice, I transitioned from designer to artist. Now a full-time illustrator, artist, and author, my favorite thing to do is wander the city streets and travel with my family, drawing all of the things I do, eat, and see in the pages of my sketch journal. I live and work in Brooklyn with my husband and two sons.
