Brush and Palette reached out to alumnus Taylor Glenn, Class of 2018, to get an update on life after graduation. 

B+P: Could you tell us a little bit about your background?

T: I was born and raised in Laguna and graduated from LBHS in 2018 and then went to Laguna College of Art + Design right down the street. I just graduated from LCAD in May of 2022 with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and Digital Media with Illustration Emphasis and a minor in Creative Writing. I’m currently earning my Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art at Maine College of Art & Design in Portland, Maine. 

B+P: What work you did do with our current students during the first semester?

T: So, I was here as a teaching assistant in the art department here at LBHS as part of my master’s program. I ended up being in the multimedia and ceramics classes mostly.

B+P: How did growing up in Laguna affect your art? 

T: I think growing up in Laguna affected my art by encouraging me to continue what I enjoyed. I was always surrounded by creative people doing what they loved, so it felt like a natural progression for me. 

B+P: How do you continue to find inspiration?

T: I find inspiration from a lot of different places, like seeing other artists, seeing the work of my classmates, reading, or looking for new materials. I find most of my inspiration through personal experiences and emotions. Currently, I am working in textiles/fibers and sculpture focusing on themes of relationships and abandonment.
