Dallas-based artist, Taelor Fisher studied at New York University in the Tisch School of the Arts in New York, NY, and Southern Methodist University in the Meadows School of the Arts in Dallas, TX. She holds a degree in Art History and Studio Art from Southern Methodist University, focusing on Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking. Fisher’s work is wholly inspired by the natural world. Her abstracted floral works are an expressive marriage of shape and color. She is initially influenced by a flower, but then allows the moment and environment to determine the direction of the painting. Fisher’s body of work for this exhibition is focused on the nature of falling flowers and movement of their petals.

Fisher’s work has been featured in numerous publications and can be found in both public and private collections across the United States. She was commissioned to design a print for Neiman Marcus and The House of Creed on their new women’s fragrance, Floralie. This design can be seen in every Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Creed Boutique across the United States and France.

Taelor Fisher's artistic practice explores therapeutic fiber techniques, illuminating the journey towards positive mental health experiences, and unraveling the historically symbiotic relationship between caretaking and cloth making.

From a distance, Fisher's colorful and patterned pieces may initially evoke the impression of a textile. However, upon closer inspection, viewers are enveloped in a kaleidoscope of materials and texture. Drawing inspiration from her personal odyssey through motherhood and her ongoing battle with an invisible chronic illness known as POTS, Fisher channels her experiences into repetitive and therapeutic fiber-inspired creations, employing recycled and readily available materials. This deliberate choice mirrors the resourcefulness inherent in the daily lives of mothers, who adeptly make the most of what is at hand. Her predilection for working with paper serves as a poignant metaphor for her self-identity — delicate by circumstance, yet strong by necessity.

Every finished piece serves as a tangible repository of time, labor, ingenuity, and Fisher's relentless pursuit of nervous system regulation. Through her art, she endeavors to delve into the psychological nuances of transforming adversity into inspiration and opportunity, fostering a positive impact on both herself and her audience. Fisher's studio practice transcends mere artistic expression; it becomes a sanctuary for her, a therapeutic conduit through which she navigates the waters of motherhood and her health journey, finding solace and empowerment amidst the creative process.

In addition to her studio practice, Fisher is deeply passionate about teaching art and connecting with others who are navigating their own journeys. Fisher brings her expertise and personal experiences to the forefront, guiding and inspiring individuals on their creative paths. Her commitment to fostering a supportive community underscores her belief in the transformative power of art as a tool for healing and self-discovery. Whether through workshops or collaborative projects, Fisher seeks to cultivate spaces where individuals can explore, express, and ultimately find solace in the therapeutic process of art making.
