My name is Chris Taylor. I am a sixty-something husband and father to two of the world's most amazing human beings. I've travelled and worked in the Developing world, was a science teacher, a plain clothes hippie, musician and woodworker.

I have enjoyed serving the Greater Vancouver (Canada) arts community by building quality artist's canvases and panels for 20 years. For most of that time I painted non-representationally. After buying an old (1930's) house with my wife and new family, I discovered my love of gardening and particularly of roses. The evolution into representational painting was inevitable.
