Description
This is my watercolor painting of 202 Taylor Street, which was commissioned by the Esparza family, owners of All-Cal insurance in Roseville, California, as a gift to the Taylor House. The Taylor House, Inc. was founded by Lisa Peat in January 2012. In 2007, Lisa became a volunteer at Child Advocates of Placer County (CASA), where she advocates in court for foster youth. Lisa has always had an overwhelming concern for the foster children who are “lost” during their emancipation out of the system at age 18. Unfortunately, they do not yet possess the life skills to navigate through life.
Out of those concerns, in 2011, she purchased and renovated a rundown, foreclosed 6-bedroom property in Downtown Roseville that was built in 1925. Lisa and the community originally came together to create a safe place for these girls who have aged out of the foster care system (18-24). It encompasses all the things that Lisa and CASA have worked so hard to provide kids in need with reliable, responsible, caring role models and also creating a space where these young ladies can learn life skills and create responsible habits. The Taylor Way focuses on the five key areas essential in the Real World; Employment, Education, Transportation, Health & Wellness, and Budgeting/Banking. Their website is thetaylorhouse.org.
This 15” X 22” watercolor was painted on Blick, 140 lb, cold press paper.
