Artist and student Taylor Lunt ’24 was awarded a Student Arts Grant from BabsonARTS to explore new painting techniques and styles while studying abroad in Toulouse, France in Spring 2023. In addition to his signature watercolor work, Taylor wanted to learn different techniques using oils, which captured a depth that holds his characters in exciting new ways. "I produced this collection as a visual travel log during my time in France and broader Europe. With it, I hope to remember and share the joy that cultural eccentricities have shown me. Each piece directly reflects its French surroundings; observing the style, landscapes, colors, and beauty that France has to offer. Vendors selling artichokes, the Garonne River reflecting sun, the little pie?birds who fly outside my window; these daily models of life and light have shaped my work indefinitely."

Taylor Lunt is a senior at Babson studying Strategic Management and Global Business. He enjoys blending a lifelong passion for art with his ongoing business education, and in doing so learns a great deal about both.

The Student Arts Grant is funded by BabsonARTS and students can submit proposals each semester for review. Email babsonarts@babson.edu for more information.
