Evelyn Baker
Evelyn Baker is a sculptor and painter whose work explores the space where spirituality, nature, and the uncanny meet. Through organic materials and surreal forms, their practice reimagines the natural world as a site charged with hidden energies, transformation, and quiet unease.
They are currently undergoing The Breakthrough Artist Fellowship Award with Artist Futures Fund and The Artist in Residence Award at Bridewell Studios, where they continue to develop an interdisciplinary practice that moves fluidly between sculpture and painting. In 2025, Evelyn Baker was awarded Best in Show at the Zari Art Prize, recognising the emotional depth and distinctive visual language of their work.
Drawing on philosophical and cultural ideas surrounding the eerie and the supernatural, Evelyn Baker creates immersive works that invite contemplation of hidden forces, spiritual presence, and the liminal spaces between life, death, and transformation. Their practice positions nature not as passive subject matter, but as an active, charged site of mystery and meaning.
