Prior to arriving at Ohio State in fall 2020, she managed 9 temporary public art projects at Penn State University as part of the university's Campus Arts Initiative. Tamryn was the Traveling Exhibition Manager for Rooted, Revived, Reinvented: Basketry in America, a contemporary and historic basketry exhibition that traveled to 9 venues across the US from 2017 - 2019. As an artist, Tamryn works with materials (silk, wax, wood, steel, hand-made paper, waxed linen) and history as a way to investigate how we apply meaning to objects to tell and re-tell stories about our past. She uses museum display practices to consider how objects are contextualized to create new meaning through juxtaposition and framing.
