Jim Baker is a New Mexican mixed-media artist working in the creation of three-dimensional devotional art. Jim’s work is strongly influenced by his years as a pastor and by his love for the Bible and sacred writings. Jim adapted his Baptist upbringing with New Mexico Hispanic Catholic heritage and applied it to his art, which includes repurposed Bibles, unique handmade crosses, religious relics, reliquary altars, metaphors, and symbols from Scripture as well as Jesus, Virgin Mary, angels, and saints. Jim’s desire is that his art will inspire devotion and worship of God, provoke spiritual conversations, and help to uncover the often-hidden meaning in Holy Scripture.
Jim’s sacred art structures can be found in churches, schools, religious institutions, homes, and businesses. Wherever people want creative and inspirational art to express and experience their faith.
