Born in Jackson, Tennessee, Tommy Taylor has since moved to Nashville, Knoxville, Iowa City, London, Raleigh, and now Houston. While he continued to develop his work at Goldsmiths University, and acclimating to London life, he quickly traveled throughout Europe and Asia. 

Tommy has consistently used his life experiences along with different materials to reflect on the world through his eclectic imagery in which he is committed to an ongoing circuit of public reflection and intrapersonal meaning not only with his art but also with his books, teaching, and art community. While he has work in collections along with a history of exhibitions in the USA and London as an emerging artist he chooses for the moment to teach, work, and write in Houston.
