ABOUT
Brynn Toler is a traditional artist and art educator from Quincy, Massachusetts with a passion for working with children. She has actively created art since childhood, completing commissions and murals for both private clients and organizations such as Quincy Public Schools.
In 2026, Brynn graduated summa cum laude from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Art Education and a concentration in 3-Dimensional Elementary Art. She currently teaches elementary art in Fall River, Massachusetts, where she shares her love of artmaking with young artists each day.
Brynn has lived with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) since childhood. hEDS is an important part of her identity and has shaped the way she experiences the world, approaches creativity, and understands accessibility. While chronic pain and physical limitations are part of her daily life, these experiences have also strengthened her empathy, deepened her awareness of accessibility, and reinforced the importance of looking beyond outward appearances when understanding others.
These experiences have helped shape Brynn’s passion for art education and her belief that the art room can be a space where students feel seen, understood, and heard. She strives to give students opportunities to express ideas, emotions, and parts of themselves that may be difficult to communicate through words alone, while encouraging exploration, individuality, reflection, and creative expression.
Outside of her work as an artist and educator, Brynn enjoys baking, swimming, playing the saxophone, and spending time with her family and beloved pug, Kippi. She is also a lifelong animal lover with a particular fondness for dogs, manta rays, and dragons.
