welcome to my website!

My name is Minnie Taylor, I’m a South Australian artist living in Adelaide.

I have a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication and worked as a Graphic Designer for 15 years. My love for painting started soon after the unexpected passing of my mother. An art teacher friend suggested to try painting to help with my grief. I bought some art supplies and started to play. Joining The Sarah McDonald Artschool helped fine tune my skills in oils and reaffirmed that I wanted to paint. Eventually taking the leap from Graphic Designer to Artist, I painted in my kitchen for years and now have my home studio where I paint full time.

While focusing specifically on still lifes, my fascination with painting glass brings me immense joy, often inducing memories while I paint. I carefully consider my glass subjects and background colours, while emphasising the shapes I see from light refraction. I paint with detail, spending time setting up compositions to form organic shapes and shadows to compliment the glass. My ultimate goal is to create art that is aesthetically pleasing to look at, evoking emotions while bringing a sense of calmness.

Often I challenge myself and paint a “quick painting” this style of painting encourages me to loosen up, experiment and grow as an artist.
