When Taylor Trewartha was two years old, her family relocated from Adelaide to Airlie Beach chasing the sunshine and blue waters. She’s fundamentally Airlie Beach through and through and is the newest member of the Mackay and Whitsunday Life team, joining as our specialist Graphic Designer.
Taylor has always loved art of all forms. Her most frequented medium is digital design, but she also dabbles in drawing, painting and watercolour when the mood strikes. She entered many art competitions growing up and in 2017 she won the Lady Potter Young Australian Artist of the Year award which saw her travel to Melbourne to present a speech on national TV.
Taylor was a regular at Smart Arts Studio in Cannonvale, where she would take lessons before ultimately being asked to give them. She taught manga lessons and thrived in sharing the skills of her craft. She also worked at McDonalds while she studied her way through a Bachelor of Digital Design at CQU, graduating last year.
Taylor is a gamer, preferring the more intricate, creative indie games over multi-million-dollar Halo-esque epics. She aspires to be a game designer herself, with a vision for telling stories through immersive simulation games. With Virtual Reality becoming more and more prevalent, she hopes to utilise the technology to its fullest.
A lover of animals, Taylor has a conure named Prisma and a border collie named Spirit. These two demand much of her love and affection which she is more than willing to give.
Keep an eye out for Taylor’s creative handiwork every week in Mackay and Whitsunday Life.
