Elayne Bryn Art 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. Orbis is a collection of

three series, Celestial, Terre, and Marine, that depict images of

the sky, the land, and the sea.

         The Orto Botanico, the Renaissance garden of the medical school of Padua, Italy, inspired the map pictures that incorporated ancient maps with vibrant botanicals. Founded in 1545, it is the oldest university medicinal garden in the world, and it is still in its

original setting. The Voynich Manuscripts, an early 15 th century codex, now in the Yale University Library, provided the inspiration for the Mystical Garden digital prints.The digital paper prints are printed on Hahnemule Fine Art German Etching papers.

         In May, 2023, Elayne won the First Place Award for Digital Art

at the Beverly Hills Art Show. Her digital art appeared in a solo

exhibition at the Philadelphia Athenaeum from February 1 through

April 30, 2024. In May, 2024, she was again an award winner at the Beverly Hills Art Show. She now works in her studios outside of Philadelphia and in Los Angeles.
