 Rita N Taylor is a very artistic person. She has many talents and hobbies which include sewing, crocheting, knitting, playing the drums, and creating art.  Those are all skills that she has but art, drum playing and photography are her true passions.  She has combined her passion for art and taking photos into her own business known as Art-Tography.  Rita  realized that her love for art did not start off as a passion but as a gift from God.  She developed her gift just by doing it.   It is her passion for playing the drums that keeps her playing, her passion, love, and excitement for creating art whether it’s drawing, sketching, painting, taking pictures or just doodling that has held her captive for life. Rita got her first at an early age and has been taking pictures ever since. Rita has a BA Degree in Business Administration but in 2004 Rita went back to school, this time to focus on just art classes which included a photography class where she was introduced to a new way of taking pictures, processing film, and developing black and white photos.  She was hooked on photography and decided to combine both art and photography for her business. Arttography is a business that creates  colorful, and thought provoking paintings, prints, and photography.  She takes pictures from her travels and surroundings near and far to produce some of her paintings.  1 or more photos may be combined to create some paintings.  Some of the photos are developed  and available for purchase,  while some are developed and may have expanded frame work to enhance the theme of the photo.  Some of the paintings are combined with fancy and different framework and small trinkets to complement them.    Rita also creates a series of prints that are related to each other and may or may not be complete without the other parts of the series.
