Her work is included in corporate and private collections throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Taylor is currently represented by the Sorrells' Gallery in Greer, SC.
"I paint to relive a feeling of the world around me and to put before the viewer my expression of color and light. I photograph to capture mood and atmosphere," the artist explained of her work, noting that she enjoys incorporating natural, used and discarded fibers into her papers. Her acrylic painting entitled Red Bay won Best in Show honors in the 2005 Spartanburg Artists' Guild Annual Juried Exhibition.
