          Taylor Loughlin interned with Flagler College in a restoration of paintings done by George W. Mynard.  She worked with students from the Escuela de Arte del Principado de Asturias of Spain, who traveled form Aviles, Spain to restore the original ceiling paintings in the Dining Hall of Flagler College.  As an intern, Loughlin worked close with the other students, on 40 foot scaffolding, to reattach falling paint and patch up spots where the paint was worn away.

          Taylor Loughlin currently works and lives in South Florida where she works on her newest collection of paintings.  She focuses on highly saturated and layered skin tones.  She wants to see how far the flesh in an image can be pushed to show color variation.  Her current work is a study of the figure's interaction with water--how the form is morphed under water and how blue tone's effect the skin.
