"MARTHA'S BACKYARD" -Anique Taylor -1970-80's Serigraph -Signed & Numbered -169/325
"Martha's Backyard" by Anique Taylor is a delightful journey through color and nostalgia, a vivid serigraph that beautifully encapsulates the joyous flair of the 1970s and 80s. Signed and numbered 169/325, this 19x25" artwork sparkles with an exuberant palette of pop art hues—radiant blues, fiery oranges, lush greens, and playful pinks.

Anique Taylor can usually be found in her studio, drawing with fistfuls of every kind of colored-pencil, marker & pen - surrounded by oil paints, caseins, acrylics, plasteline clay, and a room full of paper resin sculptures at various degrees of unfinishedness.
While still under the influence of her Greenwich childhood complete with ivy league educated parents, she obtained an AFA, BFA&MFA (Highest Honors) (plus a Diplome from the Sorbonne). She immediately proceeded to have numerous group and featured shows in and around the Metropolitan Area (Bruce Museum, Noyes Museum, Avery Fisher Hall).
