Karl Taylor – Original paintings and Limited Edition Prints

Karl Taylor has recently returned to Carmarthen. He graduated from Carmarthen Art College, receiving an award for outstanding achievement in wildlife illustration and design. In 1992 he became the first wildlife artist to exhibit at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. He was raised in Penzance, Cornwall and grew up amongst the fishing communities. Spending most of his time combing the beaches was the catalyst for his interest in the natural world. By eleven, Karl was a “budding ornithologist.” Having spent many years observing birds and other wildlife, much of Karl’s art reflects his long held interest in how they successfully exist alongside man.
