Roo Taylor

Using light and color as metaphors for energy, my work traces the through lines between the natural world and human connection. Rooted in a deep reverence for transparency and hue, each piece is meant to hum, quietly alive, holding its own internal pulse. I explore the bonds we form through love and place, not as isolated moments, but as parts of a vast, interconnected system. The relationships that shape us echo the intricate patterns of the natural world, from the rippling stones of the valley I grew up in to the twisting branches of a canopy overhead.

The connection between feeling and form describes place as a kind of portraiture. By utilizing vibrant colors and transparent washes, I invite viewers to experience emotional resonance as something inherently natural, alive, layered, and luminous. Whether depicting a person or a landscape, I aim to capture the energy that exists between things — the unseen threads that bind us to each other and the world around us.
