Much of Taryn's artistic inspiration comes from their childhood experiences and the pervasive sense of alienation and "otherness" that they felt while growing up as a queer trans person in rural, working-class, Maine. The beauty of the natural world and the ephemeral body are also prominent sources of inspiration for Taryn.
