Thank you for visiting Taylor Design in Santa Barbara, California

“and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship.”
Exodus 35:31-33 NKJV

Welcome! I am Beth Taylor, wife to the most creative thinker/problem solver ever and mom to three amazing grown children and one incredibly cute grandson. I was born and raised in Santa Barbara and have never really found any other place I would rather be. Southern California is where I am inspired daily by my beautiful coastal surroundings. One of my favorite things to do would be taking a long beach walk searching for treasures along the way. Listening to the waves crash and people enjoying themselves laughing, walking their dog, running, swimming or sitting quietly sunbathing or reading a good book. As long as I could remember I have loved the freedom to express myself through art and crafting. I am mostly a self taught artist, but I have taken formal classes as well. Some of the mediums I work with include: jewelry making, photography, watercolor, acrylic,  encaustic, graphic design, and sewing. I love learning new ways to mix these mediums into something new and exciting.

My hope is you will find something here that will inspire you and put a smile on your face. Enjoy! 

Beth Taylor
