About the Artist

Alison Elizabeth Taylor, born in 1974 in Arizona, is an American artist who has revitalized the ancient art of marquetry, transforming it into a cutting-edge contemporary medium. Her practice involves meticulously cutting and fitting together diverse types of wood veneers, allowing the natural grain, color, and texture of the wood to function as paint. Taylor's works, whether large-scale panels or smaller pieces, explore a range of subjects from uncanny landscapes and evocative portraits to genre scenes, imbued with a distinctive blend of realism and surrealism. Her innovative approach not only celebrates the beauty and versatility of wood but also challenges perceptions of traditional craft versus fine art, creating works that are both visually stunning and conceptually rich.
