With still life that "resonates with history and quality," his career as an oil painter is the culmination of a long process of studying art and its applications.

Baber was born in Denver, Colorado, to a family of itinerant musicians. Showing early talent for art, he attended Western State College with the intention of becoming an art teacher.
