Colin Taylor

Born in 1970 - United Kingdom

BIOGRAPHY

Colin Taylor is a painter based in Manchester, England and is interested in landscape and our experience of it. He has exhibited throughout the UK, The United States and Europe.

After graduating from Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham in the mid-eighties Colin Taylor re-located to Manchester, got a job with The Guardian Media Group and then switched to the ‘dark side’, working in advertising agency. Following a ‘road to Damascus’ moment in a Lake District cafe in the early 90’s, he set up a business in the outdoor leisure industry which still operates today. His experience of landscape was not just that of a painter, but a composite of climber, small business owner, regional policy maker and tourist.

Colin Taylor now divides his time between his twin passions of art and mountaineering, each one influencing the other.
