Marit Taylor is a Wiltshire-based artist and stone carver whose work is inspired by nature, colour, pattern and the beauty found in the natural world. Working primarily in colour pencil and stone, she creates pieces that explore shape, rhythm, texture and form.
Her drawings are characterised by strong colour, intricate pattern and a distinctive geometric quality, while her sculpture takes a more tactile approach, allowing the natural character of the stone to influence the finished piece. Across both disciplines, Marit’s work reflects a love of craftsmanship, detail and the process of creating by hand.
'Alabaster in Bloom' is a hand-carved sculpture in rose alabaster, celebrating the natural beauty and delicacy of flowers. Floral forms emerge and flow around the stone, while the soft translucency and warm blush tones of the alabaster bring a gentle luminosity to the piece.
