Taylor Marie Prendergast (USA, b. 1990) is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist who works in painting, drawing, video and performance. Born and raised in Southern California, she studied at CalArts (2013) and the San Francisco Art Insitute (2012). Prendergast is mostly known for her monochromatic palette, vigorous gesture, and direct depictions of her subjects. Her work explores themes of peril (both domestic and psychological), and often provokes a complex response. Since 2017, Prendergast has exhibited paintings and drawings in solo and group exhibitions with Carlye Packer, One Trick Pony, Good Mother, and Half Gallery (among others), in Los Angeles; with Stems Gallery in Paris, and LVL3 in Chicago. The artists lives and work in Los Angeles.

He received a BA from Brown University in 1998 and a MFA from UCLA in 2003, in addition to attending the Whitney Independent Study Program and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. He will be the subject of solo museum exhibitions at the Kimball Art Center (Park City) later this year and the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art (Los Angeles) in 2025. He has had solo shows at Human Resources (Los Angeles), Locust Projects (Miami), Museo de Arte de El Salvador, MOCA (Los Angeles), and Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (Salt Lake City). He has been included in the Biennial of the Americas (2015), Whitney Biennial (2014), Biennale de Lyon (2013), Prospect New Orleans (2011), and California Biennial (2008, 2004).
