Maggie Taylor

Using 19th century tin-types, photographs, and images, Maggie Taylor scanned them on a flatbed scanner.  She then combines them with some other images that she photographed, acquired, or other objects that she scanned.  These images are then composed, combined, and colorized by using Adobe Photoshop program.  In a typical image composed by Taylor, there can be as many as 40-60+ layers.

Taylor received her BA degree in philosophy from Yale University and her MFA degree in photography from the University of Florida.  In 1996 and 2001 she received State of Florida Individual Artist's Fellowships.  In 2004 she won the Santa Fe Center for Photography's Project Competition.  She lives in Gainesville, Florida with her husband, photographer Jerry Uelsmann.
