Taylor Schwinn DeCarmine

Taylor  is a Wisconsin artist and gardener whose watercolors are inspired by  the wildlife and plant life relationships all around us. Her work plays  botanical detail against abstract shape and pattern and is ever  evolving.

She  received her BA from UW-Stevens Point and for years afterward, felt  creatively stifled and unsure. It wasn’t until she relocated to Austin,  Texas and finally connected with the earth by way of organic gardening  that she found her voice as an artist. Up close observation of plants  and their pollinators led her to work for a local plant nursery, which  in turn helped cultivate her interest in botanical art.

Taylor  now lives and works in Walworth, Wisconsin and in addition to portraits  of flora + fauna, she experiments with dip pens and ink, abstract  landscapes, and digital illustration.
