About
Laurel Taylor, aka Wilde.Ink, is a multidisciplinary artist based in Taos, New Mexico. At her print studio in Arroyo Seco, NM, she hand carves imagery inspired by the surrounding nature, wildlife, and the expanses of the mind and spirit. With Wilde.Ink imagery, Laurel creates apparel and accessories adorned with hand pulled prints, large scale hand dyed and hand made cotton tapestries in meditative patterns, and works on paper.
Imagery for Wilde.Ink is inspired from the high elevation Northern New Mexico desert, and weaves together imagery from deep meditative states to reveal the dance between spirit and nature realms that is prevalent in Taos, NM.
The studio and shopis regularly open and is available for Wilde.ink classes/ events.
Beyond the printing and carving, Wilde.Ink imagery can also be organized in mural expressions to call in what a space needs.
Laurel is available for custom mural works in the northern New Mexico area.
