M. Paige Taylor is an art educator and creative based in Asheville, NC. Her color photographs explore vernacular spaces finding potential and value in everyday objects and places.

She was awarded an Individual Artist Opportunity Grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts (DDA) and The National Endowment for the Arts. She earned an undergraduate degree from Bard College (NY) and a graduate degree from the Art Center College of Design (CA).

Currently, she teaches photography courses at Mars Hill University in North Carolina and for the University of New Mexico. She is a member of the Society for Photographic Education (SPE) and the American Association of University Women (AAUW). She enjoys meeting new people of all ages and engaging them in a thoughtful exploration of art.
