My name is Taylor, and, I am so glad you are here.
hello, friend!
Bio:
Taylor Hood (b. 1990) is an abstract artist who is captivated by colors, texture, line, and anything that sparks inspiration. Her work draws on these exact things, along with bits of inspiration from her daily life. She takes a particular amount of inspiration from the Abstract Expressionist. As an abstract painter, her process is intuitive and responsive. She is known for her bold colors, thoughtful compositions, and whimsical details. Each painting has its own unique story to tell.
Hood is currently based in Dallas, Texas and graduated with a BFA in 2D Studio Art and Graphic Design from Abilene Christian University in 2012 and a Masters of Art in Arts Education from Boston University in 2020.
Welcome to my studio. Words can’t express how glad I am that your are here. I’ve been a creator for as long as I can remember - drawn to colors, textures, lines, and anything that sparks inspiration. My work draws on this exact love. Color, line, texture, and anything that adds a little inspiration to the world around me.
Growing up in Abilene, Texas, I was lucky to be surrounded by a community that supports and encourages the arts. I was blessed to have a mother that encouraged creativity in me and always helped me find my own voice.
My career has been a mix of graphic design, fine art, photography, illustration, art education, and public education advocacy. I am currently based in Dallas, Texas where I live with my beloved goldendoodle, Winslow. When I am not painting, I work for a local school district supporting educators and students.
My grandfather’s last words to me were “Go paint those paintings”. So, here I am, painting those paintings and humbled that I get to share them with you.
