Artist Statement:
My background in illustration
led to working in many mediums
over the years, and I have
come to find digital
photography and composing most
satisfying. While I am
inclined to shoot most
anything, I am most compelled
by images that portray the
balance between the finite and
the infinite. I have come to
love the beauty of
impermanence, and have learned
that beauty is flawed and
perfection nonexistent. There
is a thin line between what is
absolute and impermanent,
between creation and
destruction, and between what
is beautiful or repulsive.
Underlying all is a creative
force that connects us.It is
this force that I look to
reveal in my work. My work is
multi-layered both in content
and meaning, as is our
experience in life. It is not
my intention to depict
reality, so much as the
underlying truth of
impermanence, and the moods
and feelings that accompany my
experience of this. My goal is
to connect with the viewer,
and expand their experience of
seeing and feeling.
The interpretation of each
image is left to the
individual viewer's personal
vision, imagination, and
emotions.

| Your Personal Biography |
Gwyn is a lifelong artist and creative explorer, with a passion for images that tell a story about the human condition. The story of birth, life, death, and rebirth as they weave through our lives, and the world around us. Whether the image is of a person, landscape, building, or just a shaft of light on a weathered wall, there is the same sense of life and impermanence, and the fragile balance between modernity and the natural world.
Gwyn holds a BFA in illustration, as well as being a self-taught photographer. Her current work draws on all her skills, creating multi-layered digital images, and painterly photographs. Gwyn works full time as an artist in her home studio, just outside of Philadelphia.
