About the Artist

Taft McWhorter, a self taught artist, has been selling his contemporary art in Houston for over four years, amassing a dedicated group of over 150 local collectors, with his work being displayed in many private and public collections, including fine restaurants and corporate settings.  McWhorter’s work is in fine art galleries in Houston and New Orleans and was represented at the 2009 Toronto International Art Fair. 

McWhorter’s art career began to take shape in 2007.  With a background in business and youth ministry, he decided to follow his true passion as a professional artist.  After spending two and a half years as the business manager of John Palmer Art, McWhorter set off on his own in 2009.  Opening a fine art gallery in Houston and representing local artists was yet another experience that provided McWhorter with a deep rooted understanding of the art business.    During these years, McWhorter continued to paint and develop his own style.  In 2010, McWhorter closed the doors of his gallery to focus primarily on his career as an artist.  Since then, he has aggressively created and exhibited his work, collaborating with such artists as David Adickes, John Palmer, Allan Rodewald, Van McFarland and Chris Silkwood. 

In 2011, McWhorter signed with SpotOn Public Relations with the intent of growing his brand and expanding his market beyond Houston.   Whether it is through fine art galleries or local VIP events, McWhorter constantly exhibits his work.  You can check the calendar to see upcoming exhibits and events. 

STYLE
McWhorter employs a plethora of colors and mediums while trying not to limit him to any single style or form.  His styles include abstract, figurative and landscapes and his mediums include oils, acrylics and watercolors.  Through a combination of variety, depth and the pursuit of experiential growth, each piece of art becomes unique in technique, style and emotion.
