Recent BA (Hons) Illustration graduate and current Funded Studio Space resident, Khloe Baker, has been featured in Creative Boom with her illustrations of vendors from Leeds’s renowned food markets.
Khloe enjoys illustrating food and people and has managed to connect with the communities and people of Leeds via drawings of locations and restaurants. Khloe has illustrated food stalls and restaurants such as Little Tokyo and Fat Annie’s in Kirkgate Market, and is hoping to collaborate and work with more businesses in Leeds.
“Leeds-based illustrator Khloe Baker documents the people and stories behind the city's famous food markets in a charming personal project cum zine. And it's gone down with vendors so well that she's even got some free hot dogs out of it.”
Dom Carter, Creative Boom
Khloe is a current resident in Duke Studios as part of the Careers, Employability and Enterprise team’s Funded Studio Space scheme.
“The studio scheme is a wonderful opportunity for artists like me who are just starting out with an idea. The support you receive from the careers team is helpful and personalised, they really care about helping you to achieve your goals. Having a studio has already improved my approach to my practice and has massively boosted my productivity. Having a separate space for my work has made me more focused and made me feel more like a professional.”
Khloe Baker, BA (Hons) Illustration graduate and Funded Studio Space resident
Khloe continues; “Duke is a welcoming community which is full of creatives across lots of different fields, I’m really enjoying getting to know everybody. The studio itself is spacious and bright with lots of space to make it my own.”
In addition, Khloe is exhibiting at the Ones to Watch exhibition at Sunny Bank Mills from Saturday 2 March to Sunday 21 April 2024.
