Ivan
Taylor
Ivan Taylor
was born in Staffordshire in 1946. His first source of artistic inspiration was
in his early years by the local pottery manufacturing industry and with the Society
of Staffordshire Artists. Ivan began painting at an early age, demonstrating his
natural talent for structure, form and tone, and he was successful before the
age of fifteen in having 40 pictures shown on Adrian Hill's BBC Sketch Club. His
professional career took him first into industry and the public sector, he was
Head of Graphics for Staffordshire Education Authority. However his first love
was always for fine art and demand for his work encouraged him to become a full
time professional artist in 1989. Working in the traditional media of watercolour
and oil, Ivan's distinctive style has been influenced by the Masters of English
landscape from John S Cotman to Edward Seago. He was elected President of the
Society of Staffordshire Artists in 1999. His work has been successfully exhibited
in public exhibitions and at galleries in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and South
Africa and is now collected worldwide. His last three exhibitions in Dallas were
sell outs. He was awarded the Lincoln Joyce - Rowland Hilder prize at the Royal
Institute of Water Colour Painters in 2006
