Mary Baker Koch

Mary Baker Koch’s inspiration for her installation is the wonderful produce found at the local gem: PNC 2nd Street Market. In the heart of the city, the Market is a place to gather, dine, shop, and see what’s happening in the community. Often times, music fills the air at the market and workshops teach kids and adults new skills. It’s truly a Dayton neighborhood asset.

Mary says, “I love to focus on the organic shapes in nature, whether they are found in fruits and vegetables or the natural shapes shown in my landscapes of Hills &Dales MetroPark.”
