In each of her illustrations, Taylor Dolan puts the story first. She allows the narrative to unravel across the page — the Phantom from Leroux’s Phantom of the Opera laced in the gothic drama of the opera house, her iterations of Cinderella entrenched in the history and legend of the fable.
Dolan’s art rolls out like a modern-day Ludwig Bemelmans, full of impossible angles, freeform shape, and color. With keeping her work analog she’s crafted a portfolio of timeless art that is only a few years old.
