Andy Taylor

For twenty years, Andy Taylor has lived and painted in western Colorado. While most of his works are of the Colorado Plateau (the area that encompasses western Colorado, eastern Utah, and northern Arizona), others are intimate views of small scenes. His large canvases capture the secret beauty of an arroyo, the spacious expanse of a mountain range and river valley, or the stunning radicans of rosehips and grasses.

Originating from sketches done in the field, the paintings create a balance between providing a sense of place and exploring color, form, and rhythm. What Andy does is described appropriately as representational – not only the ability to show what he sees, but also the ability to show what he feels is essential.
