Taylor Lasher

I am a self-taught artist specializing in acrylic works on canvas. Living and creating in Saugeen Shores is a coastal artist's dream. My artwork showcases my love for water in its many forms. Lake Huron brings me a humbling comfort and peace amidst the storms of life, inspiring the artworks I create. From peaceful waters to powerful waves, I am continually inspired by the many moods of water. In 2015, at 18 years old I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma cancer, resulting in surgery to remove my entire right shoulder blade and muscle. The surgery left me with mobility restrictions of my dominant arm. I had to learn to do most things in life differently, including how I physically paint. I turned to painting as a form of therapy and it continues to fill my life with peace, comfort and purpose. I released my first collection of paintings through my website in 2020. I have had three exhibition shows at Southampton Arts (2021-2023) and became a permanent member of the Gallery in 2023.
