Gwen Taylor "Untitled" Abstract
My current interests involve exploring two different media: watercolor painting in an impressionist style and bold acrylic abstracts. I sometimes incorporate paper, pastels, colored pencils, inks and found objects as part of the design. All of my pieces are framed, which I believe is an important part of the final product.
Color and texture drive my work. Many other artists have inspired me, including Monet, Outsiders, Matisse, and Jacob Lawrence, to name a few. Since move to a barrier island off the coast of North Carolina, I am more inspired by nature- the beach, harbors, vegetation and animals- than ever before.
Currently, my work may be viewed and purchased at The Duck Gallery in Duck, NC, Dare County Arts Council in Manteo, NC, and the Chowan Arts Council in Edenton, NC.
