 My name is Kay Taylor and I'm an abstract artist based in Toronto and my specialty really is to capture the essence of joy that you feel when you're really present in nature. And one of the ways I do that is by incorporating natural products but then also using a resin to really supersaturate the color. I work only with a pallet knife and I mix my colors on the knife and I want to keep it really really fresh and then I put the resin on top afterwards and for me that creates a really great energy but it also reflects the viewer and I like that idea that play of light. You know that when you do something like this especially doing abstract there are some people that are not going to like it and they're never going to like it and they're going to be rude about it you have to just kind of go fine. You could be like that I'm going to follow my vision because I feel like I know what I need to do. People say do you have a hard time parting with your art? I'm like no because it's kind of like your babies you want them to fly and you want them to go to good places and I think that's really cool.
