All photographs by this photographer
Maggie Taylor was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1961, and graduated from Yale
University in 1983 with a BA degree in philosophy. In 1987 she received an
MFA in photography from the University of Florida. After ten years of
creating vibrant color still-life images with a view camera, Taylor began to
work with the computer in 1996. By placing objects directly on the glass top
of the scanner she is able to create a unique type of digital image that has
some photographic qualities. Many of the images feature portions of her
drawings, as well as found objects and bits of old tintype photographs.
Taylor's still-life photographs and digital images have been exhibited in
more that 80 one-person exhibitions throughout the U.S. and in Europe. In
1996 and 2001 she received one-year State of Florida Individual Artist's
Fellowships. Taylor's work is in the collections of The Art Museum,
Princeton University, Princeton, NJ; The Center for Creative Photography,
Tucson, AZ; The Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA; The
Mobile Museum of Art, Mobile, AL; Musee de la Photographie, Charleroi,
Belgium; Museet For Fotokunst, Odense, Denmark; the Museum of Fine Arts,
Houston, TX; NationsBank, Charlotte, NC; and the Prudential Insurance
Company, Newark, NJ, among others. She lives in Gainesville, Florida.
