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 recently published books Islands in the Salish Sea and Get Your Feet Wet!. The Penders' Morning Bay Vineyard has chosen two of Susan's pieces for their 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 also represented by the JMitchell Gallery on Salt Spring Island. The JMitchell Gallery’s spring group show opens Saturday, April 5. Susan’s solo show of new work inspired by life from the Salish Sea opens Saturday, April 26.
