Fine Art about Biology of the Genome
The images above are selections from my “Double Helix” and the “Raging Climate” series of fine art prints. You can view more original art in my online store and purchase what you like.
From lab to greenhouse with CRISPR.
The “Raging Climate” series features genetically modified plant organisms in raging vivid colors. You can read about them in my “Decoding Plant Genomes” book and see the original, delicate black-and-white drawings that inspired the vibrantly colored artwork.
Development of the book was supported by my award from Cold Spring Harbor Lab (CSHL) and their artist residency program. I interviewed the CSHL plant biologists using CRISPR to edit plant genomes to withstand climate change.
Custom art? Yes, can do!
Are you interested in custom art? Select one of my images and add a congratulatory message to honor a colleague. I can also modify an image for a new, custom work of art. Email your questions and ideas to me at Lynn (at) Fellman Studio (dot) com, and I’ll get back to you tout suite.
Making the art, writing the story.
Making the art: Each image mixes traditional and digital media, starting with pencil and paper. I add paint to the sketches in broad, loose strokes and combine the handmade paintings with digital tools, adding layers of overlapping shapes in translucent colors.
Writing the story: Every print you purchase includes an explanation of how the art interprets the science. For instance, the flowing shapes and dancing patterns in the “Double Helix” series mimic the constant motion of the double-stranded molecule.
Printing the art: I print the completed compositions on my fine art printer (giclee) with pigment inks on beautiful archival papers—materials designed to work together for vibrant and long-lasting color.
