Taylor’s work has been prominently displayed in countries such as Canada, Japan, United States, England, and Australia. A permanent exhibition of his art is on display in the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

Originally, Taylor sketched and painted portraits and landscapes in oil but later turned to acrylic and wildlife. Later, he worked to fuse these themes together.

Taylor was granted the Federal and Provincial Ambassadorship of the VSA Arts for assisting in the creation of art workshops for both children and adults with disabilities. He has also been selected to assist celebrities by donating his work towards the Leukaemia and Diabetes Societies.

One of Taylor's projects, ArtSavingWildlife was designed to fund the conservation of endangered wildlife species in Africa.

Daniel Taylor's artwork has been featured in art publications including Wildlife Art Magazine, Western & Wildlife Art Magazine,[3] International Artist Magazine, and Wildscape Magazine.[4]
