Maggie Taylor

[1][2] Her work has been widely exhibited in the United States and Europe and is represented within the permanent collections of several galleries and museums.

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

The flexibility of Photoshop technology allowed her to bypass these issues and shift her process to creating different layers that come together in a single image.

[5] The creative director of Adobe first asked Maggie Taylor's husband at the time, Jerry Uelsmann, to try using the program Photoshop.

[4] Taylor's artistic process is described as a scavenger hunt, starting with the search of the perfect vintage photograph as the base.

[10] In 1995, Adobe's creative director Russell Brown[11] was trying to convince Jerry Uelsmann, who is generally seen as creating the modern photomontage genre, to try out Photoshop for his work.

[9] In 2018, Maggie Taylor released Through the looking-glass, and what Alice found there accompanying Lewis Carroll's text.
