Bio: My name is Nereida Taylor and I am 18 years old. Growing up in a predominantly white city, there were little to no other children that looked like me. As I grew up I saw a lack of people of color represented on television, on commercial products and in art. Throughout my art I try to capture people of color, to make them feel represented. When we learn to love ourselves, we begin to see the beauty in the world and nature. 

Artist Statement: Learning to Blossom focuses on the transition of becoming a woman. This coming to age piece shows how we must embrace self-change and growth. As a woman of color, embracing one's ethnic roots allows for a unique sense of their personal identity.
