Taylor works with her husband to create artwork. They are both environmentally conscious and working on a book about non-toxic and ecologically responsible art-making. Taylor states " I am an artist and professor living and working in Virginia. My work mostly consists of drawings, prints, and soft sculptures with some egg tempera painting and ceramics now and then. I often collaborate with my husband Jeremy Taylor. We are both members of the North Carolina Gallery Collaborative Team Lump. I am also represented by Cinders Gallery in Brooklyn. One thing that is consistent in the work that we make is that we always use non-toxic paints, inks, glues, and we try to use as many recycled materials as possible (90% of the fabric we use is recycled)."
Taylor's figures are created using pencil and wash creating a soft feeling. Her figures are very calming yet a bit disturbing at the same time. Her figures seem docile and dress simply. The spots that cover many of her figures are described as bacteria and other bad things we pick up and that stay with us. they are the toxins in our body that we encounter.
I really like her work because it look simple and girly but upon further inspection you can see that there is definitely something off with her figures.
