Meet Taryn
Taryn is an artist, educator, expressive arts practitioner, and clinical counselor-in-training who believes creativity can be a powerful catalyst for reflection, growth, healing, and meaningful change.
Currently pursuing her graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Taryn also holds a master’s degree in Elementary Education, post-graduate studies in Art Education, and a bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology. Her background brings together art, education, culture, and a deep curiosity about the human experience—each shaping the way she connects with and supports others.
The Heart Behind My Work
Taryn’s approach has also been deeply influenced by her own experiences with grief, life transitions, and personal transformation. Throughout those experiences, art became an important part of her own healing process. It gave her a way to explore and express what was difficult to put into words and helped her discover the resilience that can emerge through the creative process.
Those experiences have shaped not only who Taryn is, but also the way she connects with and supports others. She understands how meaningful it can be to find a sense of connection, purpose, and hope through life's most difficult moments. Today, she brings that understanding into her creative work, offering welcoming spaces where people can explore, express themselves freely, and discover new possibilities through art.
She believes creativity is not about making something beautiful or being “good at art.” It is about having another way to understand what we are carrying, discover new perspectives, and reconnect with ourselves.
For Taryn, art is more than something we create. It is something we experience—and something that can help us express, process, grow, and heal.
