ABOUT THE ARTIST
Suzy Taylor was an interior designer, photo stylist and freelance magazine editor/stylist in New York City for twenty years. These skills have been a good background for her newer artistic careers of photography and painting since all of them deal with color, light and composition.
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in design from the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning and was a professional member of ASID. She studied painting at the Art Students League in New York City.
In 1990 she moved to Connecticut to have more room and time to paint. She was a week-ender the first 5 years then a full time resident and painter exhibiting in Connecticut until 2005.
In 2006 she moved to San Miguel de Allende Mexico where she established the Arroyo Gallery featuring her own paintings and custom furnishings.
Her art is about what happens when sunlight interacts with the subject. It was true in the recent paintings and lately she has been photographing her glass collection in sunlight. The photos are light-filled and very close up causing them to look abstract.
She sees these as an opportunity for interior designers since they can be many sizes and work in groupings. She has over 10,000 images which are saved in categories. They have been reproduced up to 4' x 6'. Her interior designer side loves to select the best ones for a room.
