Line 12: ==Information== Baker lives in London, England. She studied painting at [[St. Martins School of Art]] (now [[Central Saint Martins]]) between 1968 and 1972. In 1973 she attended [[Goldsmiths, University of London]] to take the Art Teachers Certificate. She was awarded an honorary Doctorate by [[Queen Mary University]] London in 2011.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2011/items/honorary-degrees-awarded-to-rock-star-space-explorer-and-visionary-artist-by-queen-mary.html\|title=PR - Honorary degrees awarded to rock star, space explorer and visionary artist by Queen Mary - Queen Mary University of London\|website=www.qmul.ac.uk~~\|date=20 July 2011~~ \|access-date=2020-03-05}}</ref> In a career spanning over four decades she has, among other things, danced with [[meringue]] ladies; made a life-sized edible version of her family; and driven around the streets of [[Haarlem]], Holland strapped to the back of a truck yelling at passers by through a [[megaphone]] to ''Pull Yourselves Together''. Daily Life Ltd is an arts organisation that produces the work of Baker and others. Together they create powerful art that investigates and questions the way people think about [[feminism]], [[daily life]] and [[mental health]]. These artworks cross many disciplines and provide unique, high quality artistic experiences for a wide range of audiences both nationally and internationally. They seek to challenge the [[stigmatisation]] and discrimination of people with experience of [[mental distress]] and raise public awareness of this vital sector. In March 2011 Daily Life Ltd became part of [[Arts Council England]]'s National Portfolio.

The Timed Drawings – six sketchbooks of drawings – were Baker’s sole output during this extended ‘hiatus’, but in volume and detail they are prolific and extensive. Each day, over the course of one year, Baker faithfully made a single drawing, which she dated and timed and which captured the joys as well as the increasing number of lows of being a mother and housewife who is determined to continue working creatively.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Timed Drawings \|url=https://www.bobbyartistbaker.co.uk/projects/timed-drawings \|website=www.bobbyartistbaker.co.uk \|access-date=26/9/24}}</ref> A selection of Timed Drawings made by Baker in 1984, were shown publicly for the first time in an exhibition curated by Clara Zarza for La Casa Encendida, Madrid, Tarros de Chutney. It was a retrospective of Bobby Baker’s work featuring paintings, sketch books, storyboards and prints made between 1970 and 2019.<ref>{{cite web \|title=TARROS DE CHUTNEY / BOBBY BAKER \|url=https://www.dximagazine.com/2019/03/27/tarros-de-chutney-bobby-baker/ \|website=dximagazine \|date=27 March 2019 \|access-date=26/9/24}}</ref> * ''Drawing on a Mother's Experience'' (1988)
