Artist's Statement Designing for indoor and outdoor public spaces is a favorite challenge for Baer: each sculpture must not only engage the eye and mind but also work well. Commissioned artworks evolve from the visual features of each site and reflections of the people who use the location. A successful work explores and celebrates its space, bringing humanizing grace, balance, and calm energy. Sculptures created for atriums or high-ceiling lobbies seem to float on their own buoyant spirits.

Biography Growing up in southern Louisiana, the artist studied in New Orleans before moving to Colorado. The lush vitality of the Southern cityscape and the light filled openness of the West both infuse her work.

She has produced works for corporate and government clients across the U.S., including Accenture, Shea Homes, S.A.S. Institute, BellSouth Services, and Kaiser-Permanente. Her interactive park installations have been featured at The Museum of Outdoor Arts and festivals in Berlin and Hamburg. Recent work includes steel constructions for a city sculpture park and for a pedestrian plaza as part of a New Urbanism development.
