About

Hi, I’m Taylor.

One of my most sacred roles is being a mother—to Ellis, my first child, who was stillborn in May 2018, and to my two living children, my “rainbow babies.” Ellis’s death shattered and reshaped my world. Through the long work of grief, my relationship with hope was also broken open and reformed into a hope that persists beyond outcome.

I write and create in the lineage of the Christian mystics, attempting to embrace paradox from my perspective as a woman who has held both life and death in her body.

With a professional background in the arts, I approach both writing and ministry as acts of co-creation with the sacred amid ordinary life. I’m currently working on my first book, a memoir exploring grief, mystical hope, and God’s ever-present love.

I help lead Sunset Ridge Church & Collective, a Christian community in San Antonio cultivating spaces of welcome, belonging, and creativity. My work as an artist, educator, and writer is sustained by creative collaboration, contemplative practice, and deep relationship with others.

This website serves as an evergreen archive of my personal creative work as a painter, writer, and host of The Rainbow Baby Podcast. It remains an evolving reflection of my journey and how I continue to grow as a mother and creative. I’m less interested in “creating content” and more interested in cultivating connection. Perhaps the stories shared here might help you feel less alone and, even more, awaken a hopeful imagination along your own journey.
