ARTIST BIO

Taylor Saunders is a Boston-based visual artist. Taylor's studio practice relies heavily on her empathetic and emotional connection to the world and a deep care for the people who surround her. At the core of Taylor's work is a passion for community and the power to be seen wholly through one's artwork. Taylor's abstract work speaks to the ability of color, line, and shape to transcend words and speak to the human experience. While her representational landscapes and portraits capture fleeting, heartfelt moments in time.
