Born in Houston, Texas, Taylor B. Douglass is a renowned abstract expressionist whose vivid and evocative work has significantly enriched the Atlanta art scene over the past eight years. A graduate of the Art Institute of Houston with an initial focus on fashion, Douglass discovered painting as a sanctuary from the chaos of retail life. Her weekends spent creating art became a profound escape and a crucial practice for emotional release and self-expression. Eventually, the overwhelming demands of her retail career led her to transition to painting full-time, revealing art not just as a profession but as a vital tool for healing and mindfulness. Douglass's artistic journey is deeply intertwined with her exploration of nature and its spiritual resonance. She perceives the earth's natural frequencies as a source of healing, capable of raising vibrations and grounding her in the present moment. Her work is infused with the rhythms of nature, reflecting a profound connection to the Source and its impact on personal balance. Douglass's art serves as a conduit for therapeutic feelings, designed to soothe and calm viewers, fostering a space for reflection and inner peace. Her practice underscores the importance of mindfulness and mental health, acknowledging the profound link between mental and overall well-being. Douglass's art is more than a visual experience; it is a spiritual and emotional journey intended to help observers find tranquility and balance amid life's turbulence. Her personal struggles with anxiety and depression lend authenticity to her work, as she channels her own experiences into abstract forms that resonate with others seeking solace and connection. Douglass has honed her craft at esteemed Atlanta studios like The Goat Farm and Mutiny Artwrx, where her distinctive approach to abstract expressionism has flourished. Her impact is visible in numerous exhibitions and installations, including a solo show in Houston and various prominent Atlanta galleries. A notable highlight includes a capsule collection displayed at the State Capitol of Georgia, merging artistic vision with civic engagement. Highlights of her public contributions include the Grove Park "Matter is the Minimum" Mural and the Ali at Lakewood "Creation, Community, Family, Self" Mural, as well as her involvement in the Midtown Heart of the Arts Banner exhibition; each project reflecting her commitment to enhancing communal spaces through artistic expression. Her work has been prominently featured on a digital billboard at Reverb Hotel in the iconic Castleberry Hill neighborhood. Her installations at national pizza chain Mellow Mushroom in Ft. Myers and in Marietta further showcase her ability to transform everyday spaces with her art. Taylor B. Douglass continues to push the boundaries of abstract expressionism, using her art as a means of healing, reflecting, and connection. Her journey from fashion to full-time artist highlights the transformative power of creativity and its profound role in nurturing personal and communal well-being. Instagram: @taylorbdouglasstaylorbdouglass.comBuy her print collection, "Fragments of Earth" here.
