Artist Statement
My name is Taylor and I am a local Dallas artist. I grew up in Dallas but spent the last 10 years in Denver, CO. While in Colorado, nature became my artistic muse and my emotional refuge. I would often head to the foothills of Evergreen, car packed with art supplies, unsure if I would hike, meditate, or paint. The smell of the earth, the beautiful wild flowers, and the light that sparkled on the cool rushing rivers inspired me spiritually and artistically. I noticed patterns in nature, but also found permission to let go and to paint what I feel.
I have developed two core styles: a meditative practice of laying down patterns of dots of paint, and a flowing organic style that is my own interpretation of nature. My process always begins the same way: I meditate, pray to the universe to use me for the greatest good, and then I lay down the word “love” to create my initial guiding lines. The canvas tells me where it wants to go, and when I am really in flow, the decisions I make about color and composition are completely subconscious…almost like I am channeling something from the ether.
I have been back in Dallas for a year now, and there is something special about the ambitious energy and warm people I have met. I am inspired in a whole new way! I recently founded a pop up show called Dallas Artists Unite, where I exhibited the works of 11 magical Dallas artists, and I have a new goal outside the canvas to help connect Dallas artists with the public. If you are interested in purchasing any of my work, if you would like to see other available works, or if you would like to connect to get involved with future art shows, please shoot me a note!
