Taylor (B. 1999, Sydney Australia) is an emerging Australian artist who strives to create hyper-realistic depictions of her subjects to capture natural beauty. She works in a variety of mediums, primarily using pencil and oil paint to achieve a high level of detail.

A self-proclaimed perfectionist in every aspect of life, Caitlyn savours the simplicity in realism. It is evident that she pours the same precision into the process of her work with the intensity itself transcribed onto the canvas and into the paint. Caitlyn brings her individual perspective to realism, demonstrating that it is much more to her than simply replicating what can be seen. She weaves story suggestively and subtlety into her work by intentionally placing unexpected subjects together. Her work has been featured in a range of art prizes including the Clayton Utz Art Prize held by Lethbridge Gallery. She was also the winner of the Inaugural Morris Art Prize in 2018.
