Camilla Taylor grew up in the conservative Mormon town, Provo Utah, and attended Provo High School, where a much abused and poorly functioning letterpress served as an entrance to printmaking. From high school, she enrolled into the art department at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. While pursuing an undergraduate degree, she worked in the series of jobs that people with little experience and odd schedules get into: barista, cook, baker, call centers, etc., and learned how to sew when working for a small bondage gear business.

An interest in sculpture and an investigation into perception helped merge printmaking with sculpture, creating three dimensional sculptural relief and screenprints. She moved to Long Beach, CA to attend graduate school at Cal State, Long Beach, graduating with an MFA in printmaking in May, 2011.
