Karen Veronica Taylor

Karen Veronica Taylor was a versatile visual artist whose point of view embraces history and nostalgia as much as it does pop culture. Taylor utilized and created iconic imagery in a variety of mediums, including elaborate pencil drawings, bright marker and Prisma illustrations, and digital photo editing. Known extensively for her series of footwear, a beloved subject that she continued to revisit time and again, Taylor’s sense of placement and design was bold and eye-catching. Each unique piece of work that Taylor created is a visual vignette of the narrative of her life. The volume and moxie with which she lived translated into the soulful images she produced. Taylor worked with her hands for most of her artistic career; however, she taught herself to use an adaptive head tool to continue her work when she experienced increasing issues with motor control of her hands. She passed away in 2021. Her life and artwork will forever be celebrated.

​Karen Veronica Taylor was from California and made art since 1990.
