Much of my work is about people and animals, young and old. Pieces often convey joy and playfulness, reflection, a child’s spontaneity, and the person’s inner character. In my artwork I start with sheets of stained glass and, after cutting them into tiny pieces of certain shapes, I transform them into a mosaic that tells an emotional story.
After years of working in watercolor, oil, acrylic and photography, I have delved into the world of collage and printmaking. A story-teller at heart, even in my more abstract work, there is almost always a narrative thread. I love the organic nature of collage and mono print and the endless opportunities for color and texture they provide.

Peter Wood, the Collector of the Impossible, presents incredible, magical objects with unparalleled showmanship.
He has appeared twice on national television, where Penn & Teller said his act was “beautiful, subtle.” Baltimore Magazine described Peter as “charming, witty, and amazing,” and Washington Business Journal said that he “will blow your mind.”
The stories we tell can shape our world. As an artist, I strive to craft visual and literary works that bring meaning and perspective to the human condition.
My art is driven by passion and purpose. I create vibrant paintings and mixed-media pieces that give form to the intangible—emotions, spirituality, and thoughts. My art tells stories of struggle, strength, pain, and perseverance that need to be heard.
The vision of Taurean Washington Studios is to be a beacon and continuous cultivator of culture through the arts. We will build and scale it from operating within the home to having an art center that will provide a platform for other emerging artists to be on the world's stage. Our vision is giving back and reinvesting in the community. We want our art to always be affordable but high quality, high caliber, and rich in content. The worth of a work is not determined by its price and every person should be able to afford an amazing work of art.
Maryland singer/songwriter Miles Gannett hears the seamless character of all music, blending and balancing bluegrass, psychedelic rock, earthy blues, and classic country. For 10 years, Gannett fronted the Baltimore band Fractal Cat, a local radio favorite that released three albums of original music and shared stages with talent from Cris Jacobs to Rising Appalachia. In 2021, Gannett released his first solo album, Meridian. Its fusion of acid rock with bluegrass is punctuated by special guests including Seldom Scene’s Fred Travers on dobro and Ron Stewart on banjo and mandolin.
