Kirsty Taylor FRSA

Kirsty is a Scottish self-taught, award winning artist, who is a Fellow of Royal Society of Arts.  She has a creative practitioner background as a dancer, theatre maker and musician. Her international career as a Performing Arts Manager has spanned more than thirty years.

 

She has worked globally at large scale venues as a manager, programmed festivals, curated community engagement events, delivered performing arts accredited educational training courses and has also produced small scale rural touring programs.

 

She became involved in visual art (self-proclaimed ‘accidental artist’) during the pandemic, whilst trying to encourage her daughter to apply for an exhibition and instead submitted work she had created herself as a response to grief.  

​

Kirsty's undergraduate studies were completed at UCL, London, UK and post graduate at QUT, Brisbane, Australia. 

 

She has co-written articles for a mental health journal and is a qualified career counsellor and mentor.
