Lynn Bierbaum is a photographer and glass artist currently residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

She believes that her interest in photographic process stems not from viewing the world through a lens, but from the origin of the word photography, meaning “painting with light”, expressing that photographs do not have to always be made through a camera, but through the universal phenomenon of light. Her sculptural photographic work combines darkroom techniques derived from her blown glass, in order to warp and bend light to convey her personal perception of time and memory.

Lynn has presented as a panelist on alternative processes for the Culture lab (Long Island City, New York) and sculptural photography at the Experimental Photo Festival (Barcelona, Spain). Her work has been exhibited at A Smith Gallery, (Johnson City, Texas), Institut d’Estudis Fotogràphics de Catalunya, Barcelona, and Art Intersection, (Gilbert, Arizona). In 2019, she was featured as an interviewed artist in the premiere issue of Analog Forever Magazine. She graduated in the spring of 2023 with her MFA in photography and related media at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Lynn is currently an Art Lecturer at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls.
