JS Taylor Art

Jennifer Stottle Taylor has been called a contemporary french impressionist. She is an award-winning internationally known impressionist artist & spiritualist, gleaning inspiration from her travels, and her sacred space around her home, surrounded by animals, in the country in a small rural town in Tennessee. For the past several years, she has been in art residencies in France and India. She utilizes these exotic places to inspire new and deeper meaning in her art. Experiencing connections by seeing through the eyes of people she meets around the world help her to find auspicious things to paint. In this way, she incorporates her imagination, emotion and intuition to produce lasting moments of art. Loving life and constantly adventurous, she explores texture, lost lines, abstraction, make-believe and a little magic on canvas.

Living a life of adventure she grew up on a farm in North Alabama, in an open field, with a clear view of the night stars. Constantly daydreaming about the life beyond this life and across the world. She lived most of her days outside on horseback or exploring the woods nearby, searching for fossils or arrowheads. She drew everything she could think of that started in her imagination or from life. The first artist she can recall, that influenced her was Dali. Later she got into fantasy art drawing men wrestling snakes, or women as mermaids. Poetry also crept into her art, linking the two with illustrations relating to each other. She started in pencil, pen and charcoal which remained her main medium during this time.
