Dr. Nadine Gordon-Taylor’s work explores the intersection of Heart-Based Consciousness and universal symbolism. Her practice is a perpetual pursuit of knowledge, often approaching her subjects with the rigor of a scientist before transitioning into an intuitive, non-linear creative process. Her current work focuses on the animal kingdom and its symbolic connection to the human experience. Born in New York City, Dr. Gordon-Taylor’s formal training began as a life member of the Art Students League, where she studied under legendary anatomist Robert Beverly Hale and painter Robert Brackman. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in printmaking and art history from Hunter College, an MFA in painting from Long Island University, and a Doctorate of art education from Columbia University, Teachers College. With over 30 years of experience as a public and private educator, she has taught at Westchester Community College and the College of New Rochelle and has led workshops and lectures nationwide. Her celebrated oracle decks, including: The Heart Path, Animal Love and Crystal Clear Oracle, are published through Inner Traditions Bear & Company.
