Dr. Cortney Baker, a stroke survivor, award-winning founder/CEO of a national healthcare enterprise, wife, and mother of 3, turned to art in 2020 to find solace in what felt like a dark, hopeless world. What Cortney discovered was life-changing—a love for creating and the world of art that she'd never known existed. For Cortney, her captivation with art transformed her life, literally and metaphorically, as she found herself finally feeling as if she’d "come home" to her physical home, family, and herself. Cortney is the founder of Bloom Galleries, located in the historic Mckinney Cotton Mill.
