Are you a Genome Explorer?
Yes, of course you are. We’re the first generation of humans to have our own genomic data. Intricate and sublime, ancient and new, your genome is a masterpiece of complex and remarkable stories.
I’m Lynn Fellman, an artist who draws and writes about the biology and evolution of genomes. I use the mighty combo of art and story to explain scientific research. Together, we learn the marvels, experience the wonder, and become science-savvy citizens for a sustainable future.
Decoding Plant Genomes is my book about CSHL biologists modifying plants to adapt to the climate crisis. The Raging Climate artwork features line drawings of model organisms from the book and printed on archival paper in lush, vivid colors.
Check out my Double Helix fine art prints, which celebrate the dynamic qualities of the double helix. My videos explore the quirky and beautiful mechanisms of evolution and biology.
My delightful patrons
In the photos (shown above) are my patrons at the Art and Science Festival and the Biology of Genomes meeting, both held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). And a young explorer at my workshop at the DNA Learning Center near CSHL on Long Island, New York.
