About the Author My name is Taylor Lee and Iā€™m an abstract artist who creates paintings for people who feel pain - those people who want validation so they know they are not alone and are instead heard. I do this because I know this pain. People tell me that my art looks like a celebration. I am celebrating - celebrating the fact that I survived. I struggled with an eating disorder for over ten years, and surviving it has made me strong in ways that I never imagined were possible. I have experienced much pain at an early age. Due to this, I approach life very thoughtfully and this reflects in my process of creating art. taylorleepaints.com ļŒŒ ļŒ­ ļŒ’ 44
