Taryn Treisman is a multidisciplinary artist, painter, and designer based in Ra’anana, Israel, whose work overflows with color, love, and joy. Born in Johannesburg and having made aliyah just four years ago, Taryn’s journey from South Africa to Israel is filled with courage, faith, and transformation. She shares how surviving the 2004 tsunami reshaped her life, inspired her art, and deepened her relationship with Hashem. What began as doodles and community art projects evolved into a thriving career rooted in gratitude, spiritual connection, and bold self-expression.
In this episode, we dive into the vibrant world of Taryn’s pop-inspired, graffiti-touched, joy-saturated art — work that celebrates life while quietly holding stories of survival and faith. She speaks about her Color Learn Connect initiative, her paint-by-community challah-cover workshops, and the philosophy that drives her creative practice: to “steal joy from the future.” For Taryn, art isn’t just an act of creation — it’s an act of faith, a way to transform trauma into light and invite others to join in that joy.
