Fine Art Prints about the Biology of Genomes
The images above are selections from my “Double Helix” and the “Raging Climate” series of fine art prints. All the images in the series are in my online store and you can purchase what you like.
The Double Helix series of fine art prints explores the beauty and complexity of DNA’s iconic shape. Flowing lines and patterns interpret the molecule’s constant winding and unwinding — how it twists and tangles — how it dances and twirls, never still.
From lab to greenhouse, the Raging Climate series features genetically modified plant organisms in vivid raging colors. You can read about them in my book with the original, delicate black-and-white drawings that inspired the vibrantly colored fine art prints.
Development of the book was supported by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (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!
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 sweet.
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 (giclee) printer with pigment inks on beautiful archival papers—materials designed to work together for vibrant and long-lasting color.
