Taylor Lasher

Taylor Lasher is an emerging self-taught artist specializing in acrylic works on canvas. Living

and creating in Saugeen Shores is this coastal artist's dream.

Lake Huron brings Taylor a humbling comfort and peace amidst the storms of life, inspiring the

artworks she creates. “From peaceful waters to powerful waves, I am continually inspired by the

many moods of water.”

Taylor’s artwork features a subdued colour palette, strong movement, and detailed water.

In 2015, at 18 years old she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma cancer, resulting in surgery to

remove her entire right shoulder blade and muscle. The surgery left her with mobility restrictions

in her dominant arm. Taylor had to learn to do most things in life differently, including how she

physically paints.

“I turned to painting as a form of therapy and it continues to fill my life with peace, comfort, and

purpose.”

Taylor released her first collection of seascape paintings on her website in 2020 and began

painting full-time shortly after. ‘The Call of Water’ will be her third exhibition at Southampton

Arts.
