Baumgartner was a student at Leipzig's Hochschule fur Grafik und Buchkunst from 1988 until 1994, after which she finished her Masters in Printmaking at London's Royal College of Art in 1999. Baumgartner is well-known for her massive woodcuts that were inspired by her own video and film. She earned her Master's in Printmaking at the Royal college of Arts in the city of London in 1999. Baumgartner has said that she's interested in woodcuts to create conceptual art and not just for the pleasure of the material. In 1 Sekunde, she recorded one second of video in a sequence of 25 woodcuts. The prize was awarded jointly by the state of Saxony as well as the Goethe-Institut and was awarded the very first Goethe-Institut artist's residency in Vietnam [88. The three-month stay started with Holzschnitt in the digital age which was a show at the Goethe-Institut Hanoi. Then, she was invited to visit the art school of the country in which she spoke about her experiences with cutting wood. In 2014 and 2015, her work was featured in an exhibition that traveled across the country. It featured exhibitions at the Centre de la Gravure et de l'Image Imprimee (La Louviere) as well as the Museum Kunstpalast (Dusseldorf) and the Musee d'Art et d'Histoire (Geneva). The first catalogue of her oeuvre she published was also a part of the trip.
