Rita Taylor

As an artist, I create with heart and intention, using my work to bring beauty, calm, and connection into everyday life. My art is rooted in relaxation, mindfulness, and finding a sense of inner calm through creative expression. Inspired by nature and personal experiences.

I aim to help others slow down and reconnect with themselves, even if just for a moment. Whether through watercolour, acrylics, or guided workshops, I offer a gentle, welcoming space where creativity becomes a form of self-care. I believe that art is not just about the final piece—it’s about the soothing process, the pause, and the presence it brings.

My goal is to show that anyone can tap into their creativity and experience the joy and peace that comes with it.
