Sarah Taylor
Dr Sarah Taylor’s educational background is in Fine Art Painting. She studied at Chelsea College of Art and the University of Ulster. Her current research investigates the relationship between gendered working-class identity and painting as a value-laden form of aesthetic practice; international survey exhibitions of contemporary painting since the 1980s and life writing at the intersection of class and feminist politics. In 2011, she introduced the concept of Aspirational Beauty to understand creative endeavours and practices that fall outside of, or that are marginalized from established theoretical conventions and definitions. She is currently a subject leader in Fine Art at Leeds Arts University.
