Jolyn Fry was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She graduated with honors from Pennsylvania School of Art and Design in 1996. Since moving to Portland, Oregon, the following year, she has exhibited her continually evolving body of work in many group and solo shows. ‘

She is a trauma survivor and has used the practice of art-making and mindfulness in the process of recovering self. Whether depicting literal, physical landscapes or those of a more personal, emotional nature, Jolyn says, 'Surrendering to my artistic process grants me the kindest perspective of myself and the life that moves around me.’

She currently lives in Portland, OR and works as an art instructor teaching painting classes at Ulna Community Art Studio.
