As a painter based in Pittsburgh, PA, Frankie Baker has been creating faceless female appearing forms within her paintings for over 8 years. Her work delves into the complexities of identity, vulnerability, and human connection. Through her exploration, She aims to confront the viewer with the raw beauty of the female form while simultaneously evoking a sense of anonymity and introspection.

By removing the face, Frankie shifts the focus from individuality to the shared experience of humanity. The absence of facial features invites a deeper connection, allowing the body to transcend specific identity markers, and instead, serve as a universal symbol of strength, grace, and sensuality. The female forms within these paintings are not defined by their appearance, but rather by their presence, posture, and the emotions they carry.

Each figure is a study in both the vulnerability and power that resides in our physical forms, expressing the often-overlooked narratives of emotion. The intention is to honor the body in its most honest state, presenting it as both a vessel for experience and a site of personal transformation.
