An Evening with Robert Maxwell
Artist Talk & Reception
April 13, 6 - 8 p.m.
About the Artist:
Maggie Taylor is an artist who lives on the edge of a sun-drenched prairie populated by cows, alligators and birds on the outskirts of Gainesville, Florida. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1961, and moved to Florida at the age of 11. Her childhood was spent watching countless hours of situation comedies and science fiction on television; later she received a philosophy degree from Yale University. A little later she got a master's degree in photography from the University of Florida.
“I’m totally interested in beauty, but I’m not into forced beauty...
And I think to truly do good work you just have to be honest about it.”
