Art With Meaning

"The subjects in my art are all real places, feelings, and real people as seen through the eyes of an artist.  I hope they convey the wonder I have for our beautiful, sometimes tragic, and often comical world."
                                                                                                                             
 - Marlea Taylor
A printmaker with numerous works in private, corporate and government collections, Marlea now works primarily with mosaics for their vibrant colors and permanence.  She continues to create and exhibit work in all media in local, national and international competitions and exhibits, energized by her belief that art is a crucial element in every successful civilization.
