Taryn is an artist who believes in the transformative power of purpose-driven work. By combining dance, music, film, and storytelling, her vision is to both empower individuals and also create dialogue surrounding culture, shared stories, systems of injustice, and human emotion.

Her hope as an artist now is to provide younger generations with authentic creative role models to look toward.
