Check Baker
Born in 1963, Check Baker is a visual artist based in East Hampton, NY. Check, who is autistic, has been drawing since age ten and has been most productive in the medium of colored pencils on paper. Raised by art-making parents in NYC’s SOHO, the family moved to East Hampton in 2002. Check is passionate about his drawing and has seen some success: in 2019 he was among a group of East End artists awarded special recognition by Guild Hall’s annual local artists show, and in 2020, a private dealer included his work in the Outsider Art Fair at NYC’s Metropolitan Pavilion. Check continues to sell works each year, at Guild Hall’s Clothesline Art Sale, and Ashawagh Hall’s Annual Members Show.
