Lynn has also created a number of signature art objects, such as her Eyewatch wristwatch, and her three-dimensional PhotoTotems. Her largest project to date is “Dreams in Transit,” a 10-foot by 30-foot public art piece commissioned by New Jersey Transit, permanently installed at the 9th Street Station in Hoboken, New Jersey. Jenny Lynn’s artwork is represented in many private and public collections, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Center for Creative Photography, and the Norton Museum of Art. Lynn exhibits regularly at galleries and museums, and her retrospective monograph, “PhotoPlay,” features numerous examples of her inventive works. Best described as a "media mix," her artwork has been featured in “Photo District News,” “The New Yorker,” and “ZOOM International” magazines, as well as on book covers, for such publishers as Random House and Simon and Schuster. In 2015, an illustrated book that Lynn conceived and edited, “EyeBook: Sixty Artists. One Subject.,” was published by the fine art publisher Damiani of Bologna, Italy. Lynn is also well known for the widely seen magazine advertisement ABSOLUT LYNN, commissioned for the “Absolut Artists” series. Jenny Lynn was born in Tampa, Florida, and raised outside Philadelphia. After studying painting and photography at the Tyler School of Art, she briefly pursued filmmaking at the New York University Graduate School of Film and Television. Returning to photography, Lynn established herself as a freelance photographer and designer in New York City, and later lived in Santa Barbara, California, before moving to Philadelphia, where she currently resides and works. Jenny Lynn has taught and lectured at colleges, universities, and professional organizations throughout the country, and regularly conducts photo workshops in and around Philadelphia. “I think of my work as visual poems -- realms in which I explore the interplay between object and image, dream and reality, chance and design, and collective and personal consciousness. Drawing upon my backgrounds in painting, photography and film, I “use everything” in my art, and mix careful planning with the “accidents” that happen during the creative process.” - Jenny Lynn

Silent Echo II: abstract light & color photograph w/ silver, blue, red, & green
By Diane Lachman
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
This is an archival photograph printed with Epson Ultra Chrome Pigmented Ink on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Rag paper with a 2 inch white border. It is part of the"Refracted World" series, and is from an edition of 50 prints. It is signed on the back.. Diane Lachman’s photographic pandemic project began in March 2020, when Covid 19 forced us to shelter at home. After a year of experimentation with the refraction of natural light through prisms, she created complex and vibrant images that reflect our experiences during these tumultuous times. By observing the change of the position and quality of light and shadow each day, she developed a new sense of the passage of time. Her photographs reflect the desolate days of this period as well as the bright days when we experienced hope. The "Silent Echo" series recalls the strange quiet and isolation she experienced during the shut down. The daily act of photographing the color and light gave her a sense of balance and purpose. Lachman’s inventive abstract paintings and photographs emphasize the expressive power of color. Her work has been the subject of twelve solo shows. Most recently, an exhibition of her pandemic photography project: “Refracted World” was shown in July 2021 at Muse Gallery in Philadelphia. She participates in many juried and invitational group shows. Currently, Lachman is the acting director of Muse Gallery in Philadelphia where she has been a member since 2010. Her paintings are represented in numerous private and corporate collections, including Temple University School of Medicine, the Howard Gittis Student Center Art Collection at Temple, the Art Collection at Park Towne Place in Philadelphia, and the Lankenau Medical Center. Lachman studied at Rhode Island School of Design and the Cleveland Institute of Art. She earned her BFA and MFA degrees at the University of Pennsylvania, where she taught drawing and color theory from 1993 to 2013. Her intuitive approach to her work complements her years of teaching Josef Albers’ “Interaction of...
