Tisha (Tee) Taylor

Tee Taylor is a Philadelphia-born artist known for her bold, three-dimensional artwork that redefines traditional portraiture. Raised in West Philadelphia and inspired by her grandmother, a professional painter, Tee began her artistic journey at a young age. By sixteen, she was hand-binding books and creating pop-up art, foreshadowing her passion for layered, tactile storytelling. She honed her skills at the Creative and Performing Arts High School and later at Moore College of Art and Design, where she developed her signature style. But after school, life took her in a different direction- Tee stepped away from canvas for nearly 20 years. It wasn’t until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that she picked up the brush again. Fueled by a renewed purpose, Tee left her job and returned to art full-time, reigniting her creative fire and taking the art world by storm.As the founder of Taylored Faces, Tee offers creative services like face painting, balloon twisting, live painting, and mural creation. Her striking, dimensional portraits are deeply emotive and visually captivating, often blurring the lines between painting and sculpture.Her work has been featured in the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, Urban Art Gallery, and A Community Gallery, Sixth Street District museums (Eureka School), earning her recognition as a powerful voice in Philadelphia’s Contemporary Art Scene.
