Bio:
Austyn Taylor
b.1984, Rochester, NY, USA
Ceramics MFA Alfred University 2016
Trained as an illustrator, Taylor began sculpting after a serendipitous encounter with clay while teaching at a charter school in Colorado. This led her back to New York to pursue an MFA in Ceramics at Alfred University. What followed was an eight year journey as a resident artist across the USA, China, Lebanon, Mexico, and Denmark.
Working within different cultural contexts, studio environments and resources led to her current practice- exploring the universality of animal forms and our shared intelligence. Taylor’s work is shown internationally and collected in over 25 countries.
She currently works from her studio in Sonoma, California.
