Using 19th century tin-types, photographs, and images, Maggie Taylor scanned them on a flatbed scanner. [1]

Maggie Taylor was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1961, and received an MFA in photography from the University of Florida in 1987. [2]

Maggie Taylor (born 1961 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an artist who works with digital images. [3]

These digital images begin as a collection of individual objects and backgrounds which I scan into my computer one at a time using a very basic flat-bed scanner instead of a traditional camera. [4]

Images also available in 8x 8″ and 22 x 22″ sizes. [5]

She lives in Gainesville, Florida with her husband, photographer Jerry Uelsmann. [1]

Her work is in the collections of the Art Museum, Princeton; Fogg Art Museum, Harvard; Musee de la Photographie, Belgium; Museet For Fotokunst, Denmark, and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. [...] Working with a computer and a flatbed scanner, Ms. Taylor is able to create complex color images from common and ordinary objects. [2]

She produces prints by scanning objects into a computer using a flatbed scanner, then layering and manipulating these images using Adobe Photoshop into a surrealistic montage. [3]

Maggie thus joins the ranks of artists like Salvador Dali and more recently the fashion photographer Annie Leibovitz who continue to find inspiration in this classic story. [5]

Although they are not traditional photographs, I do think of this as a light-sensitive process. [4]

This Floridian biographical article is a stub. [3]

When an image is completed, I have the digital file printed onto water color paper. [4]

She is the fifth wife of American photographer, Jerry Uelsmann. [3]

This is her first solo show at the Laurence Miller Gallery. [2]
