Les Baker (1935-2014), southwest artist from New Mexico, was born in 1935. Les learned to silversmith in 1962 when his wife at the time wanted a squash blossom necklace. Les could not afford to buy one for her so he went out and bought the tools to do so. At a Christmas party, Mrs. Maisel asked where she got the necklace and his told her that her husband made it. From there upon request from Mrs. Maisel, Les went to work for the Maisels. Les has also worked for Carl Louthy, Navajo.  Over the years, he has had many silversmiths that have worked for him such as Fritson Toledo, Johnny Watson and Harry Sandoval.
