About the Artist

Hi, I’m Taylor! Thank you for visiting! I am an oil painter and Family Medicine MD currently in my third year of residency training. I am originally from Colorado, and now based in Utah.

Being an artist has been a central part of my identity for as long as I can remember. I spent my childhood creating art at every possible opportunity, using chalk and oil pastel, charcoal, graphite, watercolor, acrylic, and more. 

In college at the University of Colorado, I studied pre-med and completed a minor in Studio Art. This is where I worked with oil paints for the first time, and I immediately fell in love with the rich pigments and textures. I started painting in oils more and more frequently, and now I work almost exclusively with oil paints.

Over time, my preferred subject matter shifted toward the landscapes and wildlife of the American West, especially the vast and timeless beauty of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. My connection to these wild places seems to tug at my soul, pulling me home to the soaring peaks, rustling aspens, and meadows of vibrant color. In the wilderness, the chaos and distraction of the modern world seems to fade away, leaving a stillness that helps me reconnect with a deeper sense of wonder. These experiences, when I feel most grounded, most inspired, and most alive, are the moments that I seek to capture through my paintings. 

As I have progressed through medical training, my inspiration to paint has grown with every step. Being an artist gives my life balance and meaning, and now that I am in residency, my motivation to create art has never been stronger.  I love creating large-scale work in the studio, as well as plein air painting, where I hike to beautiful locations to paint from life.  I pour my heart into every painting, and I hope that passion translates to the canvas.
