This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| A painter and teacher, Martha Baker was best known for her miniature portraits of watercolor on ivory, but she also did larger easel paintings and murals. She was a student at the Art Institute of Chicago, graduating with high honors in 1897. She taught there as well as at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, but the market for her miniatures became so demanding that she quit teaching to focus on her own painting.
Exhibition venues included the Chicago Art Institute, the Paris Salon, the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904 and the Carnegie Institute.
Baker, who died at the young age of 39 (one week short of being 40) was highly respected by her peers.
