SUSAN TAYLOR In 1996, Susan Taylor moved to Pender Island to pursue a life in art. The sea and island life provide the inspiration for her drawings, watercolours, and engravings. Her dramatic florals and detailed marine life drawings are now in private and corporate collections in North America and Europe. Her work is featured in the books Islands in the Salish Sea and Get Your Feet Wet!. The Penders' Morning Bay Vineyard chose two of Susan's pieces for their inaugural wine labels. In 1999, with her partner Frank Ducote, she opened the Blood Star Gallery, overlooking the sea on South Pender Island, where her work may be seen year round. Susan and Frank's joint work, a commissioned 20 foot seascape, is installed in the Aurora Restaurant at Poets Cove Resort, just down the road from the Blood Star. Susan is an Active Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Her work appears in FCA shows on Granville Island, Vancouver. Each year on Easter Sunday afternoon, the Blood Star Gallery, with other South Pender Island studios and galleries, starts the new season by participating in the South Pender Easter Art Walk. Plan to join us for the 13th annual Walk Sunday, April 8, 2012, noon to 5 p.m. Every summer Susan participates in the much-loved and anticipated Art Off the Fence. The 16th annual Art Off the Fence will be held July 14 and 15, 2012 on South Pender Island. To receive our weekly Letter from the Blood Star, send a note to art@bloodstargallery.com. Recent Press: Westworld magazine, Spring 2012.
