Elayne Bryn Digital Art

Elayne Bryn was born and raised in suburban Philadelphia. She graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art with a BFA in illustration. She is also a graduate of Villanova Law School. Her work is inspired by the natural world and the beauty of the prints and books located in the archives of libraries, museums, and scientific institutions from around the world.

Over the recent years, these institutions began to make their collections open to the world by publishing their archives as digital open-source material on the internet. Her Orbis Collection is a series of limited edition digital art prints that embrace the beauty of the ancient natural world through modern technology.

The Orto Botanico, the Renaissance garden of the medical school of Padua, Italy, inspired the map pictures that incorporated ancient maps with vibrant botanicals. The Voynich Manuscripts, an early 15th century codex now in the Yale University Library, provided the inspiration for the Mystical Garden digital prints.

In May 2023, Elayne won the First Place Award for Digital Art at the Beverly Hills Art Show. Her work has appeared in solo exhibitions at the Philadelphia Athenaeum, the Yellow Springs Art Center in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and in group shows across the United States. She now works in her studios outside of Philadelphia and in Los Angeles.
