Katherine Taylor

Working mainly in oils, Katherine Taylor has been painting and exhibiting in the Northwest for decades. Lively textured marks in radiant colors distinguishes her signature style, which also employs the
dramatic lighting and luminous glazing she learned from her early classical art training. Although this training instilled a great appreciation for the methods of the Masters, Katherine likes to venture beyond
that when it comes to style. She paints with a variety of techniques and paint applications she’s picked up along the way, even if it flies in the face of typical representational artwork. After 30 years of smearing pigments on canvases, she reflects that it’s still “all about the paint.”
There is no subject matter beyond Katherine’s scope of interest either, whether it be the figure, the face, the landscape, an urban setting, flowers, even bleached bones. It’s all open for interpretation, just
so she can experience the fun and challenge of creating a beautiful surface that delights the eye and feeds the soul.
Katherine continues to teach oil painting and is regularly commissioned to paint portraits and landscapes for the discerning collector. Her work has been included in juried expositions nationally. See katherine-taylor.com to learn where her work is currently exhibiting.
