Misunderstood
Taylor FrostA spotted hyena walks shyly towards the viewer – it’s face hopeful and sweet. Part of a series of misunderstood animals.
In this piece, the artist was inspired by bad connotations hyenas hold in the media and in society. Despite their shy nature, the media tends to portray them as savage, aggressive beasts. No animal is inherently aggressive, just misunderstood.
Hyenas, while incredible and ferocious hunters, also have a fascinating and intelligent side. Their social structure is unlike that of any beast, featuring a queen and her daughters, aptly named princesses, as the dominent ones in the clan. They hunt with speed, agility and cunning – working together to bring down their prey. They are a far cry from the skulking, drooling scavengers they are often shown as in film.
This is a piece in Taylor’s misunderstood series, followed by wolves, male lions, leapards, and more.
Contemporary Media Artist

From the Artist’s Mouth:
My name is Taylor Frost, an 18 year old primarily self-taught digital painter who specializes in colorful expressive art. I have been painting for 7 years now, fitting it in between my other passions. I am a competitive equestrian, namely Eventing, who owns an Irish Sport Horse named Jonty who features in many paintings as a beautiful inspiration. Digital painting works very well for my lifestyle, I can often be seen traveling to competitions around North America with my painting tablet.
I have recently been toying with many different styles of painting including realism, oils, and chalky brushes. No matter the style I always focus on color, energy, light, and emotion. I am on a quest to enter the art world in a big way.
I pride myself in creating detailed, emotional portraits and pieces of both animals and people that evoke feelings of wonder and awe while enhancing the beauty I see in the world . I adore painting endangered animals to raise awareness of their situation. My dream is to be able to create money through my animal paintings to be able to give a portion to efforts that help the very endangered species I paint so that they can be around as a muse for many years. I’d love to see my wildlife work in galleries worldwide, gracing the home of any who would appreciate it. I am also available for custom pieces of any sort, be it portrait, animal, or landscape.
I hope that viewers enjoyed this peek into my life and would like to see more of my work, embarking on this fantastic artistic journey with me.
