Taylor White

b. 1985 d. --

Raleigh, NC, USA
I am a multi-disciplinary artist whose work engages with the fundamental elements of being. I earned a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2007, and upon graduating was hired by acclaimed Norwegian advertising agency TRY/Apt, as the first and only full-time illustrator hired in a Norwegian agency at the time. Since then I have exhibited internationally from Melbourne to Berlin, LA, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago and Detroit. I have contributed to events for Juddy Roller, Outer Space Project, Richmond Mural Project, Murals in the Market, Branded Arts, BLINK Cincinnati, and SCOPE Miami Beach. In 2018 I worked with Google Fiber to create one of the largest public-facing Augmented Reality murals in the world. I continue to serve clients by transforming and activating public and private spaces. I am currently based in Raleigh, NC.
