Welcome to my website. I will be keeping you apprised of my exhibitions, publications, and lectures on my Home Page. My Journal page features my current work in progress, images from recent travels, research snippets, and everyday reflections.

Detroit Contemporary Gallery in Detroit has sponsored a full color catalog of my Endangered Series. This 80-page catalog is available for purchase through the gallery’s website. You can preview the on-line catalog and order a copy at Detroit Contemporary’s website. Many thanks to gallery founder Aaron Timlin, past director Bri Hayes, and designer Yuen Hom for bringing this lovely catalog into existence. You can check out the catalog at Susan Aaron-Taylor Endangered Species Series Catalog. It is a large, high-resolution PDF so it may take a moment to download.

It has been a busy and fruitful time for showing my artwork. I exhibited six sculptures at Detroit’s Galerie Camille in a show entitled ‘Through Her Eyes’ in March. My “Endangered Rafflesia” was exhibited in Louisiana’s Masur Museum’s 62nd Annual Juried Competition this past May, where it was awarded a 2nd place prize. In June, two new sculptures are being exhibited at the amazing Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum in Saginaw, MI where I was awarded a Merit Prize. This summer my “Endangered Great Lakes Piping Plover” will be shown at AnnMarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center in Maryland in a show entitled, ‘Submerged: Sea Life and Aquatic Art’. In July the Detroit Artists Market will exhibit my “Endangered Attenborough’s Pitcher Plant”.

Despite the crazy and unsettling political climate, this has been a fertile year for me artistically. My Endangered Series continues with the addition of a recent foray into Endangered Plants. Unfortunately, there is an over-abundance of critically endangered species that keeps growing all the time. I may continue the series for quite a while.

I am most grateful for the abundant gifts the universe has provided and look forward to what is revealed to me in the year ahead. I’ll leave you with a quote from my mother, Fran Aaron’s memoir, “Being Alive at Ninety-Five”. She transitioned September 11, 2015. Rule #3 from her secret formula for living into your nineties is, “Give your guardian angel a blessing for aiding your continued ability to remain physically and mentally healthy.”

With love, appreciation, and blessings,
Susan
