Artist Statement: Over a decade ago I was an art student intimidated by the process of making art. With a combination of apathy towards academics and in security within my skill set, I put visual arts on many back burners while pursuing other interests. Eventually I grew tired of creating excuses. My current work is an exploration into that creative freedom I was once bashful of. With this transition comes unlimited explorations of color and materials. In this space errors cease to exist. I'm currently allowing instinctual randomness to manipulate figurative expressions. Layers can adjust story lines and amplify mood. In the past, my lack of supplies was a larger excuse as to whyI couldn't create. Using mixed media on a variety of textiles and found materials is disassociating my current energy from prior struggles with ambition.Freedom to create with any means necessary has brought a vigor to this passion I refuse to turn my back on. I'm creating these for the sake of creation. I'm creating these because it's a bit of magic when I can choose art over so many distractions. I'm creating these because I now know how much better I can feel with their existence.

Living in Charleston, SC, Taylor Faulkner works in many different mediums to create whimsical pieces zeroing in on human form and movement.“When I draw, that’s where I feel most natural and uninhibited by anything. I’ve been able to use art as a tool to get out what’s in my head, and hopefully create something beautiful but also a little strange.”

Lizzie Horne
Elizabeth is a third-generation artist local to James Island, South Carolina. Her work is tailored to the connection of each individual and space, making the offering both medicinal and totemic in spirit. She believes that art should reflect the energy of space, contribute to it, feel like an essential piece to the flow of the room. The idea that art can hold space on a wall rather take it up. She creates paintings portraying abstract energetic movement along with modern landscapes - a beautiful reflection of her own raising/passage through the Lowcountry . Her process is a mix of paint and telluric materials, with each piece being platformed and inspired by her own original writing and the natural world. Her hope is to bring works of art to life with a depth beyond canvas.
