Savannah Baker

Savannah Baker is a Portland, Oregon based ceramic artist whose sculptural works explore the intersection of grief, nostalgia, and the quiet beauty of everyday life. Born and raised in Boise, Idaho her works are rooted in deep emotional inquiry, pulling inspiration from childhood, as well as her personal trials and triumphs. Baker received a BFA in Ceramics in 2019 from Boise State University before making her way to the Pacific Northwest. Savannah’s practice is equally defined by its technical precision and her commitment to expanding the expressive possibilities of clay. Her hand-built ceramic sculptures reflect an intimate relationship with the material.

Her sculptures are inspired by 90’s childhood imagery, traditional tattoos, sentimental objects, and her experiences with loss. Scale, subtle symmetry, and structural balance are all elements considered within her designs. Her pieces embrace softness with sharpness, light with shadow, and a quiet femininity that gives each form both delicacy and strength. Baker’s objects draw viewers in through a sense of familiarity before revealing layered emotional depths, ...
