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.

August Gallery Opening Reception featuring the work of Rebekah Davis

Thursday, August 6, 2026 - 5:30 PM EDT

August Gallery Opening


Date

Thursday, August 6th


Time

5:30pm - 7:30pm


On August 6th, we welcome Rebekah Davis as our featured August gallery artist.


This is a free event and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided along with good conversation and great art.


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.


Roots and Connections

  • Heritage: Though I now call the coal regions home, my roots reach back to the quiet, pastoral scenery of Lower Milford Township in Lehigh County. This blend of rural upbringing and current surroundings often informs the grounding sense of place in my work.
  • Family: My greatest pride lies in my three grown sons, whose journeys into adulthood continue to inspire my own growth and perspective.
  • Advocacy: A lifelong lover of animals, I am a staunch advocate for adoption. My home is shared with rescued pets who provide both companionship and a constant reminder of the beauty in second chances.

Artistic Philosophy

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.
