Jess "Spookie" Taylor

My name is Jess Taylor.

 

But everyone calls me Spookie. Art has been a passion of mine since I was a child. Growing up, I traced Disney Princesses out of coloring books dozens of times until I learned to draw them on my own. That passion grew with me. As an adult I turned my talents to food to create edible works of art as a pastry chef for the next six years. I loved the bustle of creating beautiful centerpieces for people's memories in the form of cake but, it left little time for my family and less time for my love of drawing.

 

Then after a wrist injury caused while creating a wedding cake made it difficult to write my name, I realized being a pastry chef could cause me to lose my art. It was shortly thereafter that I started exploring other options in the art world.

 

I had been going to Wine and Canvas as a customer for a few months and that is where I discovered my love of painting. On a whim I sent my porfolio of work, mostly cakes, to the owner and in September of 2014 my life changed forever when she offered me a job as an artist.

 

Since then I have started working  on freelance work and  I spend my life doing what I love, creating and teaching art. I identify with the Pop Culture art movement by blendng fun vivid colors with a fairtytale twist.  I created this webpage to share that style with you. Please enjoy my site and thank you for stopping by.
