This November AlterEgo is proud to display artwork by Courtney Marie Tayler. Tayler’s intention is to redirect our awareness, and help us to appreciate becoming present in the moment.
“Mindfulness, the act of being more present, is a recurring theme throughout my body of work. In our fast-paced world, it can be easy to be swept up into a web of technology. The intention of my artwork is to redirect our awareness, and help us to appreciate becoming present in the moment. My art process is a mixture of both drawing and painting. While in art school, I found myself being strongly influenced by artists such as Chuck Close and Kehinde Wiley. I admire the technical aspects these artists use to paint in a naturalistic and contemporary style. I learned how to work from photographs, and practice a photorealistic attention to detail in my own work.”
Tayler's pieces will be available to view and purchase the entire month of November. The First Friday event will be November 2nd from 6pm-9pm. See more of Tayler's pieces on her website here or on her Instagram @CMTaylorartist.
