“With no formal art education, I am still actively learning and exploring how to express my vision of the West through different mediums and styles. My most influential teachers are undoubtedly the great artists of the past – Georgia O’Keeffe, Maynard Dixon, Agnes Pelton, Ray Strong, The Taos Society…the list goes on. I hope to present a contemporary vision of the West that draws on the past while reframing those aspects that have been glossed over by popular culture. As a part of the film industry especially, one of my passions is attempting to find the real West as it existed apart from the simplified, whitewashed version found on the big and small screens.” – Taylor Crisp

A self-taught artist, Taylor is currently focused on developing her skills as a painter, and developing her own personal style inspired by the titans of Western art who came before. She spends hours in the mountains around Los Angeles, CA exploring and painting, trying to capture the essence of these recognizable landscapes with as little information as possible, adhering to an aesthetic encapsulated by Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s assertion that “perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
