About
Brenna Baker
Mamaloons · Waterford, Maine
I create stained glass and handcrafted woodworking inspired by time spent outdoors—exploring Maine, camping, hiking, climbing, fishing, swimming, and experiencing the nostalgia of classic Americana. I am drawn to wildlife and the small discoveries that come from being outside in New England, whether it is a sunflower growing in a backyard or a coyote skull found along a hiking trail. I translate these experiences into objects that feel familiar, tangible, and connected to the places that inspire them.
In a world where so much of our attention is captured by screens, I want my work to offer a reminder that there is a beautiful world beyond them, always waiting to be explored. I think about each piece in relation to the space it will inhabit, especially the way stained glass sits within a window and interacts with the landscape, light, and world on the other side. Rather than simply depicting nature, I want the work to become part of the experience of looking outward.
I currently make stained glass in my living room, where my windows look out onto the apple trees in our backyard. I do my woodworking at my father-in-law’s workshop along the shores of Lake Pennesseewassee. These environments naturally become part of my process, keeping the work closely connected to the places, materials, and experiences that shape it.
Mamaloons inspires us to slow down, look closer, explore, and appreciate the view.
