Mary Smyth Perkins Taylor (1875–1931) was an American Impressionist painter and fabric artist.

[3] The school awarded her a fellowship to study abroad in Paris under Charles Cottet and Lucien Simon.

[1] Taylor traveled to paint in Guanajuato, Mexico and exhibited the work in the Rosenbach Gallery in 1905.

[7] Beginning in the 1920s Taylor turned from painting to making hooked rugs in an impressionist style.

[2] The International Studio stated that Taylor "avoided any reading of sentiment into her subject, which she has handled with attractive dignity" in her Mary Smith Prize-winning painting Cows in 1907.
