I am professionally known as Taytayski and have been establishing a distinctive presence in the art world both globally online and in Alberta since I launched my career in Calgary eight years ago. As a graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD), I am passionate about consistently pushing creative boundaries in my art. My signature style is characterized by letting the paint dictate t

he outcome of my work utilizing every drip, splatter, brushstroke, medium, and trusting the process. As a self-proclaimed "painter for the people," my early work included a wide range of commissioned pieces, showcasing my ability to bring my clients' visions to life and THRIVING on the joy it brought to them. I have worked on portraits of celebrities and musicians, pets and sparkly drag queens, and my use of vibrant colors, paint splatter, and glitter is always recognizable. As my career has progressed, I have shifted my focus from commissions to live experiences, showcasing my art through live paintings, on-stage performances and teaching anyone I can HOW to paint. My outgoing personality and love for people draws me to opportunities to engage with the public and bring my art to life in front of live audiences whenever I can.

Did I take any photos other than this one last night? Nope 😆 but I’m so grateful for those who showed up and faced the terrible weather to spend the evening with meee 💕✨ Also Baby’s first Art show 🤰

Also big thanks to for not only hosting us last night but for the two month residency! My paintings are still up for a couple more weeks if you want to check them out.

Surprise!! I’m almost 6 months pregnant 🤭🥰💕

Probably explains my almost complete absence recently😉 We got a puppy, found out we were pregnant, came back to Canada full time, sold Betsy 🚌 and then our home to in the end buying a brand new home for our growing family!

A lil mini baby girl Taytayski is in the works with a new basement studio space coming SOON! I wonder if she’ll come out with pink hair 😂 💕

Here’s to 2026 being our craziest adventure yet 💕

As you saw in my stories I’ve been preparing for this weekend for the last couple weeks, but unfortunately I got hit with some illness the past two days and haven’t been this sick in a long time 😩😩 These weekends are marathons for us vendors and I just know my body couldn’t handle it in its current state. I’m so so sorry to anyone who was anticipating picking up cards or prints. I have all my products packed and ready so I may launch a sale or something on my website soon, send me a line if you’re looking for something specific!!

Have so much fun all you cuties, I’ll be thinking about you all weekend!!

Another commission I never got around to posting! My cousin .odynski ordered this selfie her daughter took for Father’s Day 💕

I was a little worried about replicating the photo as it wasn’t the greatest quality but we decided to go rainbow style to get away with it and I’m so glad we did! Swipe to see the reference photo ➡️
We also added in their big ol’ Bernese Fitz in the background to make it a full family photo 💕🥰 🐶
I’m so happy with how it turned out and always so grateful when anyone, and especially my family, trusts me to bring their visions to canvas!

Remember that pencil crayon portrait I was teasing in my stories in the last couple months? I’ve finally gifted it to my dear friend Carly so I can share with you all now.

Her dad tragically passed away a few months ago and a portrait was the only thing I felt like I could do to bring any sort of peace in such a devastating time for their family.
Sending my love to all the Quigleys 💕

Another fun commission completed a few months ago! A friend ordered this painting for their pal who was about to write the bar exam, in the style of my mugshot series 💕🙌 We included her name and bar exam date on the placard, snuck some “lawyer-y imagery around the sides and included her lil kitty for support 🙌

I hesitate to post the whole thing as there is personal information on it but you get the gist.

Thanks for trusting me with such a special gift for your friend!!

New puppy life is obviously taking over most of my time at the moment and I am very behind in my commissions but know I am working on them here and there while we get into a good routine with Milton!

In some un-art related news (but maybe an explanation as to why I’ve been radio silent recently), it’s not a surprise anymore that this little gremlin made his way into our lives and rocked our world in the best way 🥰🥹💕

Everyone meet Milton Meatloaf Loas! A miniature cream dachshund with loads of personality on pint sized legs. I have truly wanted a dog since I came out of the womb, to the point where my parents bought me life sized stuffed dogs every Christmas that I treated like real dogs (swipe to the end to see evidence of that 😂), then our lives have been so crazy the last ten years that we didn’t have the time to welcome a furry family member. NOW our lives have finally started slowing down a bit, the time felt right, AND WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH I COULD CRY.

SO please bear with me while we settle this little creature into our lives because leaving him alone isn’t going great just yet, but soon enough I’ll be back in the studio with regular programing, especially with Edmonton expo coming up end of September!!

Till then I’m soaking up all the puppy cuddles and happily struggling through some of the stresses that come with puppy life 😅

I’ve been waiting to share this AMAZING commission I received a couple months ago as I’m just so pumped on how they turned out! What a fun concept to turn someone’s pups into Joan of Arc and a medieval jester 🥲💕

What do you think!?

I’m always up for your crazy ideas, send me an email anytime to work together and get your ideas on canvas 💕

The final result of my live painting for ✨🍋🍑

The brand loved my Art of Influence series and wanted their sumo to be inspired by it and I LOVED the idea!
