Art Is...You - The East Coast Art Retreat

Taryn Reece

Taryn Reece has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration from the Hartford Art School, University of Hartford.  She loves working with many different types of media and is particularly fond of elevating and recycling common objects into new works of art. Taryn’s work has appeared in Cloth Paper Scissors, Somerset Studio, Somerset Memories, Haute Handbags and Art Quilting Studio.  Her watercolor and pen & ink work have appeared in many commercially-licensed designs, as well as privately commissioned pieces.

Taryn and her husband Scott live on Windy Hill Farm in Charleston, Maine.  She is constantly inspired by the picture-perfect mountain vistas and the sunsets are awe-inspiring.  But as much as Taryn is constantly amazed and inspired by Mother Nature, she has to admit she also has a fascination with the creations of man.  Junky antiques, rusted metal pieces, old doll parts, antique glass glitter, teeny tiny miniatures, found objects and absolutely any type of paper ephemera…these things make her heart flutter!  Scott and Taryn founded NavelJelly Studios, a mixed media & alternative art supply company specializing in providing original designs, weird & wonderful found objects, as well as all things miniature.  They also host Art in the Rough - Art Retreat for Women annually.  For more information, please visit www.naveljellystudios.com or their blog www.thewhitefarmhouse.blogspot.com
