Kathy Taylor
Artist Statement
Most of my work starts
without an initial drawing but is preceded by many hours of research and thought.
This creative process begins with an idea bubbling into my consciousness. As the paint hits the painting surface, the
images begin to reveal themselves. I
prefer to work on a large format using masonite or canvas. I may start by
gluing paper to the board or by randomly applying colors to which I feel
drawn. As the piece develops, the forms
take shape. Gesso, paint and more paper is applied and the creative process
begins all over again. It may take weeks
or months to complete a painting. In the end is a merging of horse and human.
Bio
Growing up in Southern
California during the “60’s”, Kathy Taylor was exposed to endless change and a
bohemian life style. Although Taylor
currently resides in Phoenix Arizona and calls the desert her home, it is the
influences from her childhood that have played the greatest role in her journey
as an artist. Ever the “truth seeker”,
Taylor has spent the past 35 years as a professional artist exploring the inner
workings of the mind as well as personal development.
Kathy has studied with
numerous artists throughout her career but credits artist Dick Phillips as her
greatest influence and mentor. She now
adds teaching to her resume with full classes in her Creative Development
courses at Studio 6020 which helps to nurture “budding” artists!
Taylor exhibits in
galleries throughout Southwest, Pacific Northwest and Europe. Her work is in numerous collections
including: Chandler
Center for the Arts, Chandler, AZ;
AT&T, Phoenix, AZ; Campeau
Corporation, Boston, MA; Juhl Marketing Inc., Scottsdale, AZ; Stroebe, Zine &
Assoc., Portland, OR
