TIFFANI TAYLOR

Tiffani Taylor is a native of Ogden, Utah. She was taught to seek an appreciate the beauty of nature at an early age by her mom and grandparents. From as early on as she can recall, Taylor knew she wanted to be an artist and paint every day of her life. She fulfilled her dream, attending the Savannah College of Art & Design for her bachelor degree in painting (2002, graduating Valedictorian, and earning a master degree in Art History (2003). Her work is currently shown in galleries internationally and is widely collected; currently in the collections of Andre Leon Talley, President Paula Wallace, Oprah Winfrey, and Diane von Furstenberg.

Taylor's paintings and pottery are created from memories of being in nature and remembrances of travel, especially to Paris and Italy. Themes of spirituality, freedom, gratitude, and beauty pervade her work. The splattering of paint and expressionistic brush strokes evoke the immediacy of the moment she is remembering and describing on canvas. Taylor's stream-of-conscious poetry is used as both a compositional device and an outlet for the overwhelming emotion felt at moments of such beauty: sketching the dancing red poppies while growing up in Utah; studying the red cardinals outside her window at home in Savannah; after viewing the Sistine Chapel; and stumbling upon exploding colorful flower markets in Rome.
