Tara Bryan is a painter and book artist who has been making books for more than 30 years. She learned letterpress printing and bookbinding at UW-Madison, and continued taking workshops at the Center for Book Arts in NY. Since moving to Newfoundland in 1992, she has shared her enthusiasm and knowledge, teaching workshops and hiring assistants to work and learn in her studio. Tara illustrates most of her handmade books, and has collaborated with Running the Goat on many letterpress projects. This is her first time offering illustrations for a commercially-printed book.
