Testimonials

From the Commanding Officer

Alix was commissioned to paint a picture reflecting 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guard's 2008/9 tour of Afghanistan. She is a fabulous artist with rich experience of painting military subjects and she rose to the challenge magnificently. A master of detail and rich in ideas and originality, she was able to capture our tour superbly by painting a scene that got to the core of why we were there - to help stabilise Afghanistan by improving security and helping to connect the people with their fledgling government.   I thoroughly recommend her.

 

Pat Harrison, artist (from her blog, 2015)

Last week I went to collect my paintings which I had submitted for an exhibition with the Chelsea Art Society. I took the opportunity to have a look at hundreds of paintings and sculptures which had been selected from more than a thousand works handed in the previous week.

The art works were well presented within the magnificent surroundings of the Chelsea Old Town Hall. I was particularly impressed seeing the works of two of my featured artists for the fist time in the original. Lesley Dabson´s and Alix Baker's paintings looked even better than their photos which I had seen on the web.

 

R Waldron, Artist

Alix paints her subjects with great aplomb and expertise. She is an excellent fine artist and exhibits regularly with the Painter Stainers Livery. She is also very approachable.

 

Hugh Beattie, Artist

Alix is a very helpful friend at the Armed forces Art Society, who has helped me over and over again for many years. Her art work is very colourful and decorative, on a wide range of subject matter. She is flexible timely and productive.

On the civilian side: I exhibit widely and am also a judge at, or help with, exhibitions.  I have been the subject of study by GCSE and A Level students on several occasions.

 

I am a Life Member of the Armed Forces Art Society, having chaired it for 6 years - the first not to have been in the armed services, and the first woman.  I remain very active on the committee and am also its webmaster.

 

I am also a committee member of the Army Arts Society and several others including the Painters Fine Art Society of the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers, and an Associate Member of the United Society of Artists.

 

On the military side: Information on past official commissions can be supplied on request.  My past mail order side sold my military work worldwide in print, postcard and other forms.  I have written, painted and done graphic work for many specialist publications.  Some of the world's top model makers have used my work for reference. 

 

My work can be found in numerous museums from those throughout the United Kingdom to several abroad.  My advice is sought by publishers, authors, silversmiths, sculptors, specialist magazines and historians.

 

Scenes of active service, parades, official presentations, caricatures etc,   in fact, anything on a military theme can be considered.
