Nicola Taylor

Brushes and Purpose

So FundBabies got the opportunity VERY few people get. We met a living artistic genius - Nicola Taylor. Yes, theee Nicola Taylor. Now for those who don’t know, I’m a student of ART. Art nearly drove me insane, which is why I spend my time making investment look beautiful. It took a lot of composure for me not to fan out (you know, scream and cry like those girls do for One Direction) when she invited us to her studio and allowed me to take a few pictures of some unreleased work.

Nicola Taylor is beautiful, talented and a ridiculously intelligent woman. I couldn’t believe the extent of her emotional intelligence and depth. I spent most of the time in our interview pretending like I was taking notes, but all I was writing was “OMG!! Brilliant!!”

To Nicola, her Art is a way of life. She lives, breathes and eats Art. Through this wonderful journey she has been able to explore and grow in her understanding of life and creation. The common thread in her work is her fascination with nature, and its beauty.
