Public Speaking

I often speak at events, talks, panels, and interactive workshops. I am always interested in new public speaking opportunities.

Conference Talks

Engaging, research-based talks that blend storytelling, theory, and lived experience.

Panel Discussions

Contributing to conversations on creativity, grief, and transformation.

Interactive Workshops

Hands-on sessions that combine discussion with creative making, allowing participants to explore transitional objects and artistic rituals.

Artist Talks & Studio Conversations

Speaking about my own creative practice and how I incorporate ritual, history, and transformation into my work.

Katie Taylor Public Speaker on Death and transitional object art

I offer speaking engagements that are thought-provoking, heartfelt, and deeply engaging. Whether for a conference, festival, creative retreat, or community gathering, I can tailor a talk or workshop to suit the needs of your audience.
