Maggie Taylor

Maggie Taylor is a digital artist who uses a flatbed scanner and vintage unclaimed photographs to make unique art. Her work is interesting and unusual. It isn't quite photography, but it has many photo elements. There are sometimes 3D objects in a 2D space. She paints many of her background. They look more like paintings to me personally, but I know that they are digital compositions. They are mostly 'impossibly' images. Even if that environment could exist, the subject matter is fantasy. She has done a body of work called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which is a play off of disney's movie. Maggie is married to Herry Uelsmann who is also a famous photographer. He is a master combination printer who uses multiple negatives and enlargers to make his darkroom work. He makes impossible images using the darkroom.
