ABOUT TAYLOR

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I am a professional makeup artist based in Vancouver, BC. I have always been passionate about drawing, painting, poetry, and creative makeup effects. I have experience in film, makeup education, photoshoots, and Halloween haunts, specializing in SFX and prosthetics makeup.

 

In 2021, I graduated with Honors from JCI Institute, earning a Diploma in Makeup Artistry. After gaining experience in the world of movie makeup, I pursued my passion for educating at Kosmetae Academy, where I instructed their Advanced Makeup & Special Effects program while continuing to actively work in the film industry. I eventually returned to my alma mater, JCI, in 2024, where I currently work as a special effects makeup instructor.  I also hold the seasonal position of Head Makeup Artist at my local haunted house, Cougar Creek's House of Horrors, where I create exciting and horrifying characters while leading my team of artists. â€‹

In 2024, I earned a Leo Award for Best Makeup in a Motion Picture for my work on "Zoe.mp4" (2023). I am also a permittee for the film union ACFC West. Outside of my professional endeavors, I enjoy spending my free time sculpting and casting different prosthetics in my home studio, as well as creating music as a hobby.
