Taylor Dunn is a multidisciplinary artist originally from Columbia, South Carolina, but is currently based in Washington, DC. Her work ranges from digital illustrations to 3D modeling/sculpting to animation. Taking inspiration from traditional mediums, such as oil painting, and combining elements of realism and stylized art, she is able to create a semi-realistic style as she merges her understanding of conventional art skills with technology and explores how to use them together, while still capturing “the hand of the artist” in her artwork.
