About the Artist
Born in Brigham City, Utah in 1960, Cordell Taylor exhibited interest in the arts at a young age drawing and making images with his mother and working in his father’s machine shop. Developing in age Cordell learned tile and ceramic crafts and even started doing wood work by his early Teens. Unaware, his exploration of technical skills and techniques, in high school, would benefit him in the future.
In 1979-1987 he worked in the oilfields of the western US as a Roughneck and Iron Worker and after a down turn in the economy, returned to the University of Utah to study Engineering. Side tracked by his first 3 Dimensional Design class Taylor discovered his passion for Art receiving his BFA in Sculpture at the University of Utah in 1992.
Beginning his studies to become an Engineer, his understanding of materials and techniques coupled with his experience as an Ironworker helped to propel him in his new career as a sculptor with his first exhibition in NY with the National Sculpture Society in 1993.
He has since been working as a Professional Sculptor for the last 20 years, exhibiting nationally and internationally his works are in many Public, Corporate and Private Collections.
“As an artist, I look for things that will enhance my creativity and broaden my knowledge of creating new art objects. Nature and architecture are my greatest influences. Outcroppings of geological formations or a new Museum have an equal impact on my creative energy and each send me back to the studio to derive a new composition or piece”.
