Suzie Baker is an award-winning artist whose paintings have been featured in Fine Art Connoisseur, Plein Air, and Southwest Art Magazines.
Representational, painterly, impressionistic, and inspiring—these are all perfect ways to describe Suzie Greer Baker’s paintings. Whether she’s painting a lush landscape on location, creating an evocative still life in the studio, or completing a commissioned portrait, Suzie paints with a loose, alla prima technique that is always evolving as she experiments with new approaches.

Here's your chance to rub shoulders with and learn from Suzie and many of your favorite artists on the teaching faculty.
Every year, hundreds of the world’s smartest outdoor painters gather at the Plein Air Convention & Expo (PACE) to learn painting techniques from the world’s top artists. They come to see what’s new, what’s hot, and what’s working RIGHT NOW in art marketing.
This is the largest gathering of plein air painters on the planet and there is no other event like it. The convention is different every year. Each is in a different location and features incredible painters and amazing presenters.
Every year, there are artists at PACE who are, or will become, some of the greatest artists of our time… and you get to meet and mingle with them! This is an event you will truly regret not attending.
“PACE is the most important gathering of artists in history” — Jean Stern, Art Historian and director of the Irvine Museum.

“Wow! I learned so much and am ready to go to the next level by way of improved value in my paintings. Suzie was well organized, presented the material in a clear manner and was patient with all the questions I’m sure she’s answered hundreds of times. I definitely recommend her to others!” Elyse Taylor
