Poetry Without Words

For Dina Gustin Baker, painting is "poetry without words, music without sound and freedom without loss." Through that personal quote, her abstract paintings convey her true self: a woman who is steadfast, strong, and absolute - and an artistic force. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Baker's career began in the early 1940s with conversations with Dr. Barnes of the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania, having been awarded a scholarship to the Art Students League in New York City, and soon enough surrounded by the true greats of their time - Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Willlem de Kooning, the list goes on. "It has been my life and I work every day," said Baker, who enjoys painting in her West Palm Beach studio.bakerLearn more about Baker in the Hollywood and Glamour Issue of Raine Magazine.Adapted by Liz Belilovskaya
