We are thrilled to welcome the stunning oil paintings of Stephanie Taylor to The Avenue Gallery. Elemental and emotive, Stephanie’s large scale oil paintings portray the mountains, ocean, and forests of British Columbia.
Paintings can fill our senses, shift our mood, and transport us places. This is especially true for Stephanie Taylor’s work as the scale of the work takes our imaginations directly into the forest’s of British Columbia. We are immerse in colour and the atmosphere of the West Coast.
Stephanie’s work moves between abstraction and impressionism, incorporating elements of representational detail to convey the fleeting emotive experience in nature, while anchoring the viewer in a specific environment. The light is a common focus in many of her pieces. Paintings are constructed in layers often with vivid underpaintings that infuse the landscape with an elemental glow.
Stephanie studied Fine Arts at the University of Victoria. Her work can be found in numerous collections across Canada and abroad.
