GROWING is an epic undertaking. It chronicles both, the artist's life and work in a way which is witty and poignant. Elyse Taylor's signature style reaches a full forte in this piece which evolved, literally and figuratively, over a period of years.

In GROWING, Elyse Taylor uses everything at her disposal to tell a woman's story, with honesty and humor, which is both extremely personal and universal. Richly varied and episodic, Taylor's panels depict the range of her talents and the depths of her feelings.

The piece de résistance is the wall "tiled" with canvases recording the artist Elyse Taylor's "Passage in Life"
Vivien Raynor - The New York Times

Working with recycled and found materials, paint, collage, rug samples, and just about anything else, Taylor unleashes some genuine feminist wit that is not meant to sting, but to reflect.
Marilyn J. Fox - The Reading Eagle

GROWING becomes both Taylor's autobiography and the story of all women. Whether it's an imitation of her high school yearbook picture or abstract references to the holocaust and the discrimination women face in the work force, Taylor's vibrant, engaging fusion of the personal and universal makes her work stand out.
Susan Josephs - The Jewish Week

As GROWING panels continue to be produced, the forging of links goes from the community to the studio, from her world to ours, as her art and activism connect us to each other.
Maria Epes - Artist

Elyse Taylor incorporates moments and memories into a rich tapestry that speaks to the varied rhythms of life experience.
