Rachel Taggart

Rachel Taggart’s artistic journey is one of passion, exploration, and dedication to her craft. After completing diplomas in Biology and Education, Rachel turned her attention to painting in 2001, and has been pursuing her art career with fervor ever since. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious galleries in Toronto and New York. As a highly sought-after artist, Rachel’s work has graced the walls of many spaces, including condominium lobbies, corporate board rooms, and hospitals. Notably, in 2017, Rachel was commissioned by the United Nations to create a painting that is now displayed at the United Nations Environment headquarters in Nairobi.

Rachel’s love of nature and the outdoors is evident in her work, which draws inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds her. Her art is a reflection of her adventurous spirit, and her travels around the world have informed her unique perspective.

Over the years, Rachel’s work has evolved from land and nature themed paintings, to a diverse body of abstracts. In her “Transformations” series, Rachel relinquishes structure for fluidity; form for the unrecognizable; and control for trust in the unpredictability of the painting process. Subtlety and softness with a dynamic element of spontaneity, movement and energy are the overarching themes in this body of work.
