Ann Tarantino is an artist working in drawing, painting, installation, and public art to explore the relationship of the natural world to the built environment. Her work has been exhibited widely around the world, appearing in settings ranging from museums and galleries to botanical gardens and city streets. Movement through time and space have been ongoing fascinations as she has traveled back and forth between continents, living and working variously in Japan, Brazil, Europe, and the United States, with each landscape leaving a distinct imprint on her work.

Recent exhibitions and projects include a recent permanent public project for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, major public commissions for New York City's Department of Transportation DOT Art program in collaboration with the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, and a solo exhibition at the Juniata College Museum of Art. Her work is in public and private collections worldwide. 

Tarantino was a 2016-17 recipient of a Fulbright Core Scholar Award for artistic practice in Brazil. She earned an honors degree in Visual Arts from Brown University and a Master of Fine Arts with a concentration in Painting from The Pennsylvania State University. She lives and works between central Pennsylvania and Girona, Spain.
