TAYLOR BOYD STUDIOS

7 North Fifth Street, Warrenton Virginia

About Taylor Boyd  – Taylor Boyd has been an artist since childhood and has always dreamed of opening a gallery/studio of her own. In 2022, she opened Taylor Boyd Studios in Old Town Warrenton. She has sold her original art for 20 years and is very dedicated to her work.

A native of Fauquier County, Taylor has a strong passion and interest in the growth of her hometown and looks forward to getting to be a part of its expanding arts community. 

She is the Vice President of the Warrenton Arts Commission and advocates for the wealth of untapped artistic potential. In 2023 she painted the large scale “You Are Home” mural on Culpeper Street in Warrenton, VA. She most recently completed the illustrations for a new children’s book that is set to come out later this year. 

After her 2008 graduation from Virginia Wesleyan, Taylor returned to Warrenton in 2011 and over the years has decided to turn her passion for art into her full time career. In 2019, she quit her 9-5 to pursue happiness and expression. “If not now, when?”
