Gwynna Dille (b. 2001, Los Angeles, CA) uses oil paint, printmaking techniques, silver and gold leafing, and crayon to create magically real narrative paintings. Her work casts friendship as a great mystery and herself a foolhardy detective. Her academic studies in medieval manuscripts and early codexes, as well as her love of Northern Renaissance compositions, detective novels, and late 20th century filmmaking heavily inform her practice.
Gwynna graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2023 with a degree in Painting
and a concentration in History studying rituals, rites, and holy sites in Paganism and Christianity
in Northern Europe.
