Featured Friday artist of this week is Wesley Baker from Elmhurst, IL. Wes is both a motorcycle enthusiast and painter. He says “A rider experiences the weather, the environment and feelings of excitement and control in a motorcycle; a viewer of art can feel the joys and risks of the ride through canvas.” Baker strives to capture those emotional interactions in his paintings. You can see Wes’s painting at South Shore Arts Main Gallery through August 26. All his works are for sale. DM for pricing. .
