Taylor McTaggart
Artist Taylor McTaggart is 18 years old and is self-taught. A quadruple amputee, she lost both hands and feet to meningitis when she was five months old and was treated at the former Yorkhill children's hospital. She has had a passion for art for 16 years but only started to think of it as a career in the last 6 years. She enjoys a range of art types but her strongest mediums and those she enjoys the most are illustration, manga and anime. Currently a student of Glasgow Clyde College, Taylor used her time at college as the inspiration for this design.
