Artist Bio:
Taryn is a painter, muralist, and singer working in Prince George's County and Washington D.C. Since studying art, chemistry, and poetry at the University of Maryland, she has continued her exploration of abstraction through her studio practice, by working as an assistant to local artists, and as a museum docent and preparator.
Citing the improvisational tradition of jazz, abstract painting, language poetry, and meditation among ideologies influential in her artistic development, her growing collection of works often forgo image in favor of the most visceral interactions between colors, shapes, and textures.
Taking cues from abstractionists like Mildred Thompson, Gertrude Stein, Sam Gilliam, Joan Mitchell, Clyfford Still, Kandinsky, and others, she follows the age-old traditions of exploring both individual and collective consciousness through a painter's lens.
