About Kenyon Taylor

Kenyon Taylor is an evocative artist based in the vibrant landscapes of Sedona, Arizona, where her unique fusion of impressionistic, abstract, and figurative styles creates a visual tapestry that captivates and inspires. Her work is a mesmerizing exploration of color and composition, drawing deeply from her fascination with indigenous cultures and their rich connections to nature. Taylor's artistry is profoundly influenced by the enigmatic allure of cave paintings, which she channels to express the unseen worlds of her imagination. Through each brushstroke, she seeks to convey the invisible narratives and messages of beings inhabiting these ethereal realms.

Taylor's creative process is a dynamic dance of mixed media, skillfully blending oil and water-based paints, markers, Japanese handmade papers, and inks to craft textured, multi-layered works of art. Her adept use of these materials allows her to translate the complex interaction between form and potential, inspired by her interest in quantum physics. Every piece Taylor creates is akin to a vivid, unfolding novel, inviting viewers to journey through layers of intention and mystery. Her work is designed not only to be seen but to evoke a profound heart reaction, connecting audiences to the universal themes of nature and shared human experience.

Educated at prestigious institutions like The Art Students League in New York City and the Cape School of Art, Taylor has honed her skills under the mentorship of artists she admires, including Bob Burridge and Gretchen Lopez. Her dedication to her craft has been recognized internationally, with an Honorable Mention at the International Spiritual Art Awards in 2020. Since 2021, Taylor's work has been celebrated at the Sedona Open Studios and the Sedona Visual Artists annual show at the Sedona Arts Center, establishing her as a significant presence in the local art scene.

Kenyon Taylor's artistic vision is driven by a desire to touch hearts across the US and Canada, inviting viewers into a world of mystery and discovery. Her paintings are not merely to be observed but experienced, resonating with a sense of recognition and awareness. Through her art, Taylor aspires to share the inspiration that comes to her in dreams and visions, offering glimpses of the worlds inhabited by The Guardians—protective beings guiding our journey on Earth. Her work continues to enchant and inspire, promising new layers of meaning with each encounter.
