Born in Warsaw, Poland, Trish Taylor moved to Switzerland at the age of five where she discovered a passion for ballet dance. She spent her teens in state ballet schools in Paris, France; Berlin and Munich, Germany. She danced as a company member in the national ballet of Munich, Germany and Warsaw, Poland. After problems with her ankle and a surgery she had to change her professional direction. The following years were spend searching new ways intertwined with travels around the world.
Trish was yet interested in exploring different aspects of dance, photography and painting for the needs of her artistic expression. She took a class in painting and photography at the art school F+F Kunsthochschule in Zurich Switzerland in 2014/ 2015 but started painting as a teenager and explored in drawing and poetry too. Her work is influenced by the different cultures and the artistic environment she grew up in but also from her travels.
She moved in 2016 to Arizona to join her American husband that she met a few years ago on Route 66 during her travels.
Preferring abstract painting, Trish works in layers and combines different techniques that often lead to an unpredictable direction. Her work is mostly intuitive and meditative, focusing on the present moment, letting the flow take over and do the rest. In a way, she brings paint to dance on the canvas. “As an artist you have to be continuously learning, exploring and evolving because the only constant in life is change. Go explore beyond the boundaries of self and dive into the infinite.“
The three art shows in March and April 2017 in Lake Havasu City, AZ present her latest work from the past and current year featuring original paintings and photography. The pictures painted in 2017 are the colorful expression of the intensive energies felt after recent Reiki classes.
“An artist is an explorer.“ Henri Matisse
