Headed Upstream: Julia Taylor

Opening Reception - September 10, 5-7PM

Headed Upstream traces an unexpected artistic journey that began at age sixty, when a chance watercolor class ignited a passion that would reshape Julia Taylor’s life. From her explorations at Ox-Bow to the quiet intensity of painting during her recovery from heart surgery, Taylor’s work reflects both technical mastery and an evolving personal voice. Her still life, landscape, and figurative work carry with them memory, humor, and presence, all transforming the ordinary into the enchanted. This exhibition celebrates not just Taylor’s paintings, but her discovery of art as a lifelong practice of recovery, reflection, and joy.
