At the young age of 23, Darren Baker graduated from university and in the same year was appointed official artist of The Professional Footballer's Association (PFA).

Darren has gone from strength to strength, with his love for the 'still-life' attracting critical praise. He is now one of the leading painters within the British Art classical realism genre. Darren's technique and vision are the result of observation and inspiration from the Old Masters and contemporary realist painters.
