About

Taryn Lee is a Eurasian, neurodivergent artist from Toronto, Ontario, Canada with a Bachelor of Design from Toronto Metropolitan University in Fashion Communication. She’s had illustrations published in Canadian magazines, two illustrations in Martin Dawber’s 'The Big Book of Fashion Illustration’, and Capsules book ‘Drawn Leaders in Contemporary Illustration Vol.2’ by Crooks Press. Her fashion illustrations have been published in Goldfoil, LAZIN and ZOOT magazines.

Her art focuses on colourful, representational figurative works, portraits, and stylized fashion sketches. She’s interested in people’s personal style and how they express unique identity through clothing and dress.

She has experience teaching children art in a classroom setting. She’s created and instructed various online courses: 5-week ‘Expressive Fashion Illustration with Watercolour’, 10-week ‘Expressive Fashion Illustration with Mixed Media’ and 6-week ‘Expressive Portraits in Mixed Media’ in collaboration with Workman Arts. She’s been teaching a monthly in-person art workshop in Toronto with CAMH (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health) at their Patient & Family Learning Space since February 2023. She’s part of the CAMH Collaborative Learning College (CLC) Evaluation Subcommittee which currently evaluates the best tools and practices for recovery colleges. She’s a 2022 Fellow of the Yale CAMH Let(s) Lead Program.

She owns an Etsy shop called Bonnie & Clyde Vintage, which sells vintage jewelry and accessories. The thrill of the hunt keeps her searching for special vintage pieces. Her love of jewelry and fashion history ties seamlessly into her fashion related art and illustrations.
