Taylor Sallade is a native of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Her grandmother introduced her to painting as a little girl, and her love for creating has grown ever since. While working as a youth pastor in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, Taylor began to sell her pieces to friends, and Tay Sallade Art was born. She chose to stick with Tay for her business for a simple reason: Tay is easier to paint than Taylor.

Today, Taylor lives in Birmingham, Alabama, with her husband Matthew, her son Thomas & her dog Teddy.
