Taylar Sanders is a visual artist, painter and muralist from Kansas City, Missouri. Her art journey began at a critical moment. After a lifetime of suppressing her emotions, she developed an autoimmune disease. She was losing her voice figuratively and literally. At the intersection of prayer, a search for healing and self reflection; she was led to painting. It became a method of emotional regulation and a way to reclaim her voice. She has been exploring her creative expression for 9 years. Much of her work consists of powerful and moving figurative paintings that depict the complexity of black identity and emotion. She primarily works with oil paint on canvas, wood and glass. She also creates digital art, murals and public art installations. She explores inner emotional worlds and the full spectrum of emotions. She challenges narratives about black culture and the expression of femininity and masculinity within it. She highlights peace, joy, gentleness and our interconnection with each other and nature. Her work aims to uplift and create harmony among people through the common thread of emotion. She is currently a studio resident at the Charlotte Street Foundation. Her work has been exhibited in various galleries and collected internationally.
