Bio

Originally from the UK, artist Sal Taylor Kydd earned her BA in Modern Languages from Manchester University and has an MFA in Photography from Maine Media College.

Her photographs have been exhibited across the world, including New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Mexico, and Spain. Sal is also a writer and poet, and has published books combining these two art forms. Her books are in private and museum collections throughout the country, including the J. Paul Getty Museum, Bowdoin College, the Peabody Essex Museum, the Franklin Furnace Artist Books Collection and the Maine Women Writers Collection at the University of New England.

Sal’s latest book Yesterday, published in October of 2021, is a limited-edition book of photographs made during the pandemic.

Her earlier book, Just When I Thought I Had You, is now in its second edition.

"My work draws strongly on the landscape, focusing on my home, family and myself in conversation with the natural world.  I am often attracted to the objects and artifacts that we surround ourselves with, as memory-laden emblems of our history and signifiers of time passing. I look to understand how a sense of place can be embedded with personal history."
