2025

Taylour Martin, a gifted artist born in Tacoma, Washington in 1991, embarked on her artistic journey at the age of 14 while residing in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico. It was here that she received invaluable artistic guidance and teachings from her grandmother. Though her time in Mexico lasted just a year, the impact of that period remains a fundamental influence on her artistry. At SOTA (School of the Arts) in Tacoma, Taylour further honed her skills and developed a distinctive artistic identity, delving deeper into techniques that would define her work. Currently based in the vibrant artistic landscape of Los Angeles, Martin's creations bear a deeply personal essence. Through her art, she channels her experiences and emotions onto the canvas, crafting pieces that resonate with joy and capture the essence of what it means to be human. Amidst the 2020 pandemic, Martin's artistic spirit reawakened. In the intimate confines of her apartment, she engaged in a soul-searching exploration of joy-inducing activities, and it was within this cocoon that the embers of her artistic fervor reignited. Martin's current artistic oeuvre is manifesting a fusion of minimalism and expressionism that transcends conventional boundaries. Her canvases, adorned with the visceral beauty of paint on exposed canvas, exude a mesmerizing interplay of form and emotion and echo the complexities of her personal journey. Taylour Martin draws inspiration from the belief that every individual possesses an innate artist within them, waiting to express themselves on the canvas. Her artistic mission revolves around granting that permission and encouraging others to channel their innermost feelings and thoughts onto the blank canvas, fostering a connection between the artist and the art that is truly profound.
