Hello. My name is Claire Taylor. I'm an artist, illustrator, art educator, and... a lover? Yes. I'm currently sliving in Marin County, CA, though I've lived most of my life in northern Utah, and spent a few years in Tucson, AZ. About my artwork: I like to explore themes of existence using watercolor painting, creative writing, and artist books. Some words you might use to describe my work: whimsical, wonderful, well, well, well we've run out of adjectives that start with w. I don't know why that's the criteria, but it is.
I’ve been privileged to do many fun things in my career, including the solo art exhibition, “Snail Snake City,” at the Utah State Capitol in 2022; and held artist residencies with the University of Arizona’s Creative Writing Program, Southwest Field Studies in Art & Writing (2023), the Natural History Museum of Utah (2020), and the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (2018). I have a Master of Fine Art in Illustration, Design & Animation from the University of Arizona (2025), and a Master of Science in Environmental Humanities from the University of Utah (2016).
I collaborate with environmental organizations, scientists, and writers to produce environmentally themed publications. And I occasionally do personal commissions. If you’d like to collaborate with me, please do get in touch. My email is hi[at]clairetaylor[dot]art
