Wildlife is the muse of many artists, but University of Utah graduate Claire Taylor seeks not only to create beautiful works of art, but to take the viewer with her on a journey to confront human perception of animal life. In her upcoming May exhibit at the downtown Alice Gallery, Taylor will share work from her research on the human-animal binary.
Taylor works in mixed-media painting, mainly watercolor washed with colored pencil, but is also known for printmaking. She earned a bachelor of fine art in visual art with a printmaking emphasis from the U, where she worked as studio manager, instructor and lead printer in the Book Arts Program and Red Butte Press at the Marriott Library.
