Mernie Baker's paintings are images that combine many different facets of life, drawing from memory and imagination to understand her culture, history, family, and the world around her. As a half-Puerto Rican and Irish individual, she has always grown amidst the collage of these two nationalities, using her artwork to represent this style of comparison. Her works, such as "Beyond Good and Evil" and "Evil VS. Good," showcase her skill in contrasting human experiences through color variations and dimensionality. Mernie's ability to blend symbolic elements like Jesus and Messydog evokes a deeper connection with the viewer, encouraging them to explore their interpretations and experiences.
