A. Hunter Taylor’s pastel paintings are not a photographic moment in time but represent an artistic and imaginative interpretation of the immediacy of the moment and ephemeral characteristics of light, color, and shadows dramatically revealing themselves in organic form.
Through this work Ms. Taylor strives to reconnect with the grandeur of nature as seen through a microcosmic representation and inspire others to a heightened awareness of the interconnection of all life in our technology – focused world.
