Jamaica
Charl Baker
Actor, Producer
A Tree with many branches! … Charl Baker is Canadian born but Jamaican made.
She is an artist, designer, stylist and a muralist. A creative individual that delights
in making something from nothing.
Art is just an extension of my soul. I truly believe i was born to create. “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” I use various mediums to express creativity. My interest in visual and performing arts is multifarious. I continue to pursue creative endeavors and my passion for the arts is the driving force behind my business Studio 969.
So whether I am styling for the latest film, commercial or music video or creating a new look for an upcoming artist or existing super star my signature is evident. I think of life as my ever changing canvas – where fabric transforms to jewelry and recycled materials and wire take root and become my “Trees of Life”. Painting is the voice that I give to my minds eye for murals or other works of art.
Once my hands and the art are engaged, this is my bliss continued development of my craft.
Creative expression is my souls desire.
The artistic journey continues… the best is yet to come!
