Jaylyn Crowe is a multidisciplinary artist from Lexington, Tennessee, whose practice primarily focuses on clay and painting. She recently earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from University of Memphis, graduating summa cum laude. Within her art practice, she seeks to preserve and honor her family, memories, and stories, using clay as a medium to hold and carry them forward. 

During her time at the University of Memphis, she discovered the beauty of cyanotypes. Drawn to their rich blue tones and methodical process, she began using cyanotype printing as a documentation tool to preserve personal histories and memories as well. Through this process, she explores the past while recontextualizing it, creating work that bridges memory and the present.

More recently, she has been exploring the connection between these two vastly different mediums, using clay as a vessel to carry her cyanotypes and give her memories newfound solidity.
