From the on-going "Afterimage" and "Aftermath" series, which focus on the interpretation of historical photographic records of devastation and decay, to the abstracted landscapes in oil of lights on water and environments that are mysterious and shifting under the viewers gaze, Katherine Taylor's work consistently explores the human experience of the impact a change on our environment - whether sudden as in a hurricane, or creeping yet irrevocable, as in the development of a casino economy along a previously pristine shoreline - has upon the inhabitants.

In her characteristically autobiographical paintings, Taylor comments on the qualities of light that obscure the distinction between the natural and the man-made landscape. For Taylor, light conjures a spectrum of feelings and emotions. Using a complex process of multiple layers of oil and numerous reactive mediums, she creates a luminosity suggestive of a range of interpretations from that of a celestial presence to seduction to simple dreamy sensations.
