Her interest in art was apparent at a young age, formally studying art by the age of twelve she was soon enrolling in college level classes. Interrupted by WWII Baber resumed her studies, receiving a Master’s degree in 1951. Traveling throughout Europe in the 1950s she was briefly enrolled in the École des Beaux-Arts earning a living as a writer and art editor, mounting her first solo show in New York in 1958.
