Taryn Troiani
"I am a painter and mixed media artist from Frackville. I began my art career in college and studied
painting with several art professionals in the Lehigh Valley. My work in graphic design and technical
illustration at AT&T Microelectronics in Allentown introduced me to a variety of techniques and
technology that became an important element in my development as an artist. I find inspiration in the
beauty and complexity of the natural world, the work of the Impressionists, Abstract Expressionist
artists and the art and designs of ancient civilizations. I embrace the challenge of combining color,
texture, and various materials in my work to create compositions that involve the viewer in the space I
invent to entertain, question, and connect with a memory, experience or an appreciation of beauty."
James J. Abicunas
James is a self-taught artist who specializes in portraits that capture the subject's expressions and emotions. James works primarily in oils, but also works with charcoal, pastels, acrylics and watercolors. He's always been inspired by the Masters: Rembrandt, Monet and Van Gogh.

Based in the rugged landscapes of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, I am an acrylic painter whose work serves as a vibrant testament to the power of transformation. After spending decades dedicated to the classroom as a school teacher, my artistic practice has evolved into more than just a creative outlet—it is a vital, therapeutic practice of reclamation and healing.
My journey as an artist is deeply intertwined with my journey as a survivor. My canvases are where I process the complexities of the past and celebrate the strength of the present. I use the bold, immediate nature of acrylics to translate my experiences into a language of color and texture. For me, art is not simply a hobby; it is the therapy that allows me to rebuild and rediscover my own voice.
In both my professional life as an educator and my private life as a painter, I believe in the necessity of expression. My art invites viewers to witness a process of resilience. Through every brushstroke, I aim to turn pain into perspective, proving that even after the most difficult chapters, we have the power to paint a new, brighter reality.
