Taralynn Rogers, an artist born in New York, is known for her wet felted abstract art characterized by emotional depth and vibrant colors. Her artistic journey mirrors her life, moving from New York to Texas, then the East Coast, and ultimately California. She refined her craft with studies at UC Berkeley, San Francisco State, and JFK University. A childhood marked by frequent relocations and a rich cultural blend influenced her artistic perspective profoundly.

Creativity was a staple in Taralynn’s upbringing. Her mother, a dressmaker, and her father, a machinist and artist, introduced her to various art forms. She formally entered the art world with a BFA in Design in 1988, starting in architectural illustration and portraiture before delving into technical roles with CAD drafting. However, her passion for art persisted, steering her towards innovative textile work using techniques such as wet felting and Nuno felting.

Taralynn's creations echo her life's experiences, using abstract forms to communicate emotions and narratives. She regards abstract art as a complex genre that challenges her to deliver potent messages and introspection within each piece. Years of dedication to felting have granted her expertise in manipulating fibers, integral to her unique artistic voice.

Drawing inspiration from Bauhaus painters and renowned felters like Gladys Paulus and Andrea Graham, Taralynn's art is distinguished by its vibrant palettes and intricate patterns. Although she has predominantly worked on private commissions, pieces of her early works were on display at the Boone Healing Center in Boone, NC, she also showcased her work at the Ridley Gallery based in Rocklin, CA. Taralynn conducts an artist’s’ open house twice yearly at her studio in Loomis, CA.

Taralynn sees art as a catalyst for societal change and innovation, expressing a commitment to authenticity and emotional impact. Even though she values her privacy and may occasionally be out of the public eye, her journey continues to reflect her belief in the transformative power of art.
