Minnie Taylor, is a South Australian artist living in Adelaide.
She studied a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication and worked as a Graphic Designer for 15 years. Her love for painting started soon after the unexpected passing of her mother. Painting helped and nurtured Minnie to overcome her grief. After years of painting at the Sarah McDonald Art School fine tuning her skills in oils, she now paints full time from her home studio.
While focusing specifically on still lifes, her fascination with painting glass brings her immense joy, often inducing memories while painting. She carefully considers her glass subjects and background colours, while emphasising the shapes seen from light refraction. Minnie spends time setting up her compositions, to form organic shapes and shadows to compliment the glass. With her ultimate goal to create art that is aesthetically pleasing to look at, evoking emotions while bringing a sense of calmness!
Established in 2021, the National Emerging Art Prize was created to provide an annual, highly visible national platform to identify, promote and support the most promising emerging visual and ceramic artists in Australia.
