Primarily a plein air landscape painter, Joe Baker works in oils, watercolors and pastels with occasional pieces in acrylics, charcoal and prints. Recent paintings exhibited include subjects from the Berkshires, the Maine coast and the Adirondacks, as well as material from travels to Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota and Baja California.

His violins, violas da gamba, and hardanger fiddles are owned and played by muscians on three continents, as well as being included in university and museum collections. He has a BA in biology from Princeton University and worked for five years as a cowboy in Wyoming before moving to the Berkshires in 1974.
