Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Skye Taylor — a professional artist with over 55 years of experience creating original paintings that speak to the soul. I’ve been painting since 1968, and my passion for bold, expressive art has taken me on an incredible journey across the world.
Over the years, my work has won numerous awards and been featured in a wide range of spaces — from private homes and restaurants to office buildings, Hollywood studios, and even a sports stadium in Hong Kong. I’ve had the honor of creating special pieces for two well-known celebrities, and I was once commissioned to paint 28 originals for an entire corporate office. I’ve also worked one-on-one with interior designers in the Chicagoland area, helping them bring custom visions to life for their clients.
My paintings have been reproduced and sold on metal through retailers like Walmart and Overstock.com, giving my work broad public and commercial exposure. But at the heart of it all, I’m still most passionate about creating original, one-of-a-kind pieces that connect with people in a meaningful way.
Whether you’re a collector, a designer, or just someone who connects with bold, abstract work — I’m glad you’re here. Every painting I create is rooted in decades of experience, emotion, and artistic exploration. I hope one of them speaks to you.

How it’s Made
Behind every Skye Taylor painting lies an unwavering commitment to both excellence and heartfelt expression. Each brushstroke is the result of countless hours spent refining technique, selecting the finest pigments, and crafting layers of texture that capture a world of depth and emotion. With every piece, Skye painstakingly channels passion and precision into her work, ensuring that no detail is overlooked. This devotion to quality transforms each painting into a rare masterpiece, embodying both the pinnacle of refined craftsmanship and the timeless allure that discerning collectors crave. When you acquire a Skye Taylor original, you’re not merely purchasing a work of art—you’re investing in a singular creation that radiates the artist’s dedication, elevates your surroundings, and enriches your life with a luxurious touch of beauty and sophistication.
