Lynn Taylor

• Lynn Taylor was born and raised in Toronto, and has resided in Lakeview and Mississauga for over 25 years. Her Indigenous heritage and culture stems from her mother and is a member of the Oneida Nation of The Thames reserve in Ontario (Turtle Clan). Her love for painting began during her childhood. Lynn’s creative abilities began to emerge when she, as a young adult, won government-sponsored poster design competitions 3 years in a row. Lynn studied at Sheridan College in a Fine Arts program. She continually strives to hone her skills and techniques as an artist through various on-going workshops and private lessons. She has traveled through Europe and other countries to see the world from different viewpoints. However, her deep appreciation of nature and her growing knowledge of her indigenous background are her biggest influences. She is predominantly a self-taught artist and likes to work with varied subject matters and using a variety of mediums. She recently designed the logo for The Eagle Spirits of the Great Waters Indigenous Arts & Cultures, and is actively involved in this group as Director of Finance. “I would like to see the integration of Indigenous arts into non-indigenous communities so we can all learn from each other.”
