The Collaborative Art of

Gage Taylor - Widely known as one of the creators of California Visionary Art, Gage Taylor’s “heightened landscapes” evolved from a deep love of nature and an intense interest in metaphysics. He has been an artist all his life, and he also writes music, screenplays, and children’s books. His work has appeared in a variety of magazines, including Newsweek, Rolling Stone, and Omni. Gage began collaborating with Uriel Dana in 1984. Singly or together, their work has shown in galleries and museums throughout the U. S. and in eleven other countries, including the Whitney Museum in New York, the Smithsonian in Washington D. C., the Paris Biennalle, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In 1988, Gage and Uriel toured the Caribbean as guests of the U. S. State Department’s Arts America program, exhibiting their work and lecturing to artists on how to make a living with their art.

Uriel Dana - The daughter of a Rosicrucian, Uriel Dana was weaned on the mystery schools, the occult, Edgar Cayce, and Atlantis. By adolescence, she was on a steady mental diet of the world’s religions, mythologies, and archetypes, washed down with an occasional weekend seance. She has also been a practitioner of dream yoga techniques for 25 years. It is this background, as well as being highly clairvoyant, that has given her work its unique mystical patina. Uriel lived for nearly three years in W. Germany in an apartment filled with Gage Taylor’s posters and cards. She actually told someone, “If I can’t paint like Gage Taylor, I don’t want to paint at all.” By 1984, she was his full-time painting partner in California. Her work, and her collaborative work with Gage, is included in many important private, public, corporate, and celebrity collections, in addition to more than 50 cards, posters, and other reproductions found in the U. S., Europe, Canada, Australia, and Asia. Uriel has been nominated and accepted for inclusion in the 21st edition of Who’s Who of American Women.

"Enlightenment & Purrsuasion"

“The visionary art of Taylor and Dana is a synergy of Taylor’s 4th dimensional landscapes and UFO’s, with Dana’s surreal and sensuous dream-inspired visions. They use archetypal images - cats, treasure-filled temples, mysterious hooded figures - allowing the physical world and dream world to interface, revealing the unexpected, be it winged dolphins or aliens on a Harley.”

Gage Taylor and Uriel Dana have each been honored individually in Outstanding People of the 20th Century (Incorporating the "Outstanding Acheivement Awards") for "Outstanding Acheivement in the Fine Arts" by the International Biographical Center of Cambridge, England. Publication 1999.
