"The transformation of nature, over time and over the seasons, is a metaphor for the transformation of self, thru the ebb and flow of the landscape of life. Like the ocean's tides, patterns of seascape and shore become sensory impressions that I seek to capture with color, light and form. My images, compositions in color and pattern, reflecting time and place, thoughts and experiences, are "mindscapes".
-Sandy Taylor
"I seek to capture fleeting moments, reflections of nature, and long ago memories as painted impressions and expressions in abstraction, plein air painting, and a combination of both disciplines.
Paintings of land and sea document the breath and beauty of nature; in contrast, work in abstraction evolves as emotional constructs of memory, time and space. Shadows, figural shapes and layers define objects and spaces within both genres.
When working in abstraction, I love the freedom and experimentation that abstraction allows, as I dig down thru the layers, and expose what is beneath. As a plein air painter, it excited me to capture the edgess of color and light coming together in the ephemeral colors of nature, here now, gone so soon."
