Taylor Baptiste is an interdisciplinary artist from the Osoyoos Indian Band of the syilx Okanagan Nation. Her work is rooted in her upbringing in Nk’mip—a landscape of sagebrush, wild roses, and desert mountains beside Osoyoos Lake. Influenced by syilx storytelling, land-based knowledge, and a strong connection to family and community, her practice reflects an ongoing relationship with the tmxwulaxw (land) and tmixw (all living energies). Primarily working in sculpture, she blends traditional materials like buckskin, ochre, sinew, and beadwork with contemporary forms. Her interdisciplinary approach extends to painting, photography, digital illustration, film, and performance, all approached with curiosity and care. Taylor’s work seeks to bridge ancestral knowledge with contemporary expression, carrying forward syilx ways of being while engaging with the stories, places, and materials that shape her.
