Josephine Taylor creates narrative images on paper using diluted permanent ink washes and, more recently, ink applied with an air gun. Her drawings examine the emotional and psychological remnants of adolescence. and her subject matter is personal, rendered with a tender fragility and always at the scale of the people she is portraying. Taylor’s work is included in the permanent collections of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 2013 Taylor’s work was featured in "OFF-SPRING: New Generations," a group exhibition at 21c Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 2017, Taylor was awarded a Eureka Fellowship from the Fleishhacker Foundation. She teaches at Stanford University and at the Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy through the San Francisco Arts Education Project. Taylor lives and works in San Francisco and has been represented by Catharine Clark Gallery since 2003.
