2024 - Emily Taylor, Santa Rosa Beach, FL

We are excited to announce that Emily Taylor will be the featured artist of 2024. This year’s artwork features a set of piers in purples, greens and blues to portray a classic, coastal bay scene.

Emily Taylor is a coastal artist who loads her colorful brushes with happy memories of life growing up on Mobile Bay. Her joy on canvas springs from those magical bay summers filled with sunshine, open arms, family wharf gatherings, trawling for shrimp, the drone of porch fans, and peace.

“My grandparents there had a summer home ‘over-the-bay,’ on the Eastern Shore in Point Clear. We spent magical summers there, from the last day of school, straight through to Labor Day, all together in the house with the grands, aunts, uncles and cousins. So many people, plus friends, meant tons of water skiing, a bit of mischief, sailing, ice cream, and crab-picking at a really big dinner table.”

After retiring from thirty years of teaching foreign languages on the coast of Georgia, Emily has returned to her roots on the Gulf Coast and currently resides in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.

Emily’s art can be found at Hello Gallery in Fairhope, Alabama. She also participates in juried art festivals and markets throughout the Southeast. Follow her on Facebook and Instagram for show updates and new works. @emilytaylorfendigart
