About Renee Taylor

As an emerging artist I have been working both abroad in New Zealand and on the Gold Coast as a career since 2005. Born in Australia I was a passionate art student and achieved to be the highest graded art student in Qld Schools for my grade in 1997. I then went onto a private arts academy at Morningside, Brisbane for full training in all aspects of Fine Arts, Painting, Life Drawing and the Landscape, succeeding highly in Portraiture and the Landscape.

I now live locally in the Northern Rivers of NSW and the Gold Coast. I also spent a number of years in the South Island of New Zealand, where my love for the landscape evolved.

Most of my work is created and inspired from drawing on location, (in situ). I like to capture most importantly the essence and spirit of that certain place. How the time of day, light and weather affects the atmosphere and mood. To feel something from a painting is what gives rise to it. Very much of my work is to paint what is felt rather than what is seen.

"To uncover something new in the familiar", (quote by Lloyd Rees)

I like to create a sense of ambiguity in my work that is fresh and raw. The excitement in art to me is the spontaneity of the brush and water mark. This can be found in a lot my work, to be able to manipulate the accidental marks made by the brush and water spray gun to create a dream like quality.

I work mainly in mixed media and acrylic. The exploration of colour and colour harmony is a huge interest in my work. Another style of my work tends to be symbolic, although I am not always conscious of this. I am also inspired by simplicity and its beauty, capturing the essence of nature and life in something small like a leaf and its place in time and space.

My works have proven incredibly popular with Australian clients and International. My works attract Designers, Home Decorators and Renovators. I specialize in taking on private commissions where I can create something personal with the client, the artwork and myself. I am passionate for art, and each piece has a part of my heart and soul poured into each one.
