Britta Baker is a builder, artist, and traveler who currently resides in Asheville, NC. She specializes in the nitty-gritty of natural building, and is preparing to embark on a tiny building adventure.

Check out her art portfolio, building projects, and (soon to come) tiny house blog!

Art

Britta Baker is a visual artist, specializing in painting, photography, and printmaking (and hand-plastered walls, but that’s a different story!). She recently began delving into natural pigments and painting techniques in an effort to ‘green’ her artistic practice.

She draws inspiration from the natural world, fueled by time spent living in Alaska, Montana, Utah, and now North Carolina. She often focuses on under-appreciated details, objects, plants and creatures, and is especially fascinated by bones – their sculptural forms, their strange beauty, and the way their function so literally shapes them.

Building

Britta Baker is a builder with a background in both natural and conventional building methods, specializing in earthen finishes, finish carpentry, and finding creative solutions to irksome problems.

She is passionate about passive solar design, materials with low embodied energy, and healthy hand-built homes. She is also about to start the construction phase of a tiny house building adventure (having been stuck in the design phase for far too long)!
