Amanda Taylor
“My work explores the expressive possibilities of glass through variation in colour, texture, light, and atmosphere. By drawing inspiration from nature, I use my glass work as a way to creatively interpret the ever present beauty that sounds us all. I use light, colour, and form to create a sense of place in my work. My hope is that the work will spark a fond memory, and bring a sense of wonder and joy within each viewer."
Working out of either of her studio’s (one just north of Asheville, NC in the Cattail Creek community, and the other in Batavia, NY), Amanda Taylor creates various bodies of work that celebrate the natural beauty of the hills and mountains where she has lived and travelled throughout Canada, the United States, and various areas around the world.
Amanda’s work varies in size, subject matter, and techniques. She works from her own photographs and/or watercolour paintings to create all of her landscape series. There is no use of any enamels or paints in her work. Layers of imagery are created by using various forms of glass materials. Each piece is then fired several times in a glass kiln in order to get the final sculptural piece.
Amanda Taylor was born and raised close to the Canadian Rockies in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Her love of the outdoors, and photography, inspires her to create unique interpretations in kiln-formed glass.
Amanda has been working with different forms of art materials and techniques since her late teens. She has been working in primarily with kiln-formed glass since 1994, but has been solely focused on glass since 2007. She has studied and been mentored by many glass artists from around the world. Amanda teaches year-round both at the school in Burnsville, NC, and in various studios across Canada, the USA., and soon in Mornico Losana, Italy.
