| "Imagine a portrait that showed not only
what you look like, but where you came from hundreds of generations
ago through your unique genetic code. Minnesota portrait artist
Lynn Fellman's particular technique is both revolutionary and evolutionary." |
| Quote from "A DNA portrait reveals
more than what you look like", by
Marianne Combs, arts reporter for Minnesota Public
Radio. The interview was broadcast on MPR in 2008. |

"Medical School Hap Map" installed
in the Mayo Building
Dr. Deborah Powell, Dean of the Medical School, University
of Minnesota, commissioned Fellman to create a work based on
her DNA portraits. The title of the piece is "Medical
School Hap Map" and was installed in the corridor of the Mayo Memorial Buidling
at the University of Minnesota
The "Hap Map" has Lynn's signature style of combing
landscape with scientific data. Per the Dean's request, it shows
how the multicultural diversity of the school's student population
has increased in recent time by tracking the Haplogroup routes.
The routes begin in Eastern Africa, the origin of modrn humans,
and make the prehistoric human journey to all parts of the world. To bring the
story into our current era, the Hap Group paths are extended to their final destination
at the University of Minnesota. |

"Lynn
Fellman: DNA Portraits"
Jessica Ambruster, City Pages arts reporter said: "Digital
artist Lynn Fellman may be a rarity in the art world;
she's an artist with a great appreciation and understanding
of the world of science... Fellman's work combines science,
art, and ancestry, taking it to a completely unique level."
"Deoxyribonucleic
artist"
Minnesota Daily reporter Stephanie Dickrell
wrote: "In Fellman's world, science and art
come together to communicate relatively complicated
scientific ideas to the general public, a public
that might not be interested with genetics as an
abstract concept, but who might be curious about
how genetics relates to their own lives."
