Cassie Baber

I’m a Canadian oil painter based in British Columbia, inspired by the wild landscapes and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest.
My work sits somewhere between hyperrealism and expressive painting. I love the challenge of capturing the details that make an animal feel alive—the character in its eyes, the texture of fur, the movement of water, and the changing atmosphere of the landscape around it.
I’m less interested in simply reproducing what I see than in capturing what makes a particular moment memorable. My paintings are often dramatic in scale and atmosphere, but grounded in careful observation and layers of oil paint.
Wildlife and the natural world have always been a constant source of inspiration for me. Through my work, I hope to create that feeling of stopping for a moment and being completely absorbed in the scene.
