Meet Gaylynn Baker

Heart,

Humor

& a Camera

Hi, I’m Gaylynn Baker, and I am an Actor, Director and Writer, and most importantly, a Storyteller. I have spent my life chasing the power of Story, a power that can change hearts, shift perspectives, and heal the wounds of the world.


My goal is always the same, to tell the truth with love, humor and courage. Because I believe it’s never to late to live your dream and  I am living proof of that. So meet me by the perfume tree, perhaps we can heal the wounds of the world together.
