Taylor is an artist and educator living in the St. Croix Valley, about 30 miles east of the Twin Cities. Working with his hands and spending time outdoors have been passions of his since a young age. His work consists of both aesthetic and functional art forms, from printmaking and mural painting, to knife making and fly tying. Regardless of medium, the work he creates is often inspired by his love for spending time outdoors, and reflects many of the animals, plants, and geology observed while exploring new places and various aspects of the natural world.
