Taylor is an artist and educator living in the St. Croix Valley of western Wisconsin, about 30 minutes outside of the Twin Cities. Working with his hands and spending time outdoors have been passions of his since a young age. Taylor's work consists of both aesthetic and functional art forms, from printmaking and mural painting, to knife making and fly tying. Regardless of medium, his work is often inspired by his passion for history and spending time outdoors. These creations are documentation of his learning and thought process as he discovers and explores new places, visual languages, and various aspects of the natural world.
