Honolulu-based artist and printmaker Allyn Bromley was born in San Francisco, California in 1928 and has been a resident of Hawaiʻi since 1952. Her large-scale multimedia work combines screenprinting, recycled plastic, wood, collage, wire, and cut paper, and reflects on nature, the built environment, and the passage of time. Bromley received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Hawaiʻi, Mānoa, and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Her long history in the arts community includes teaching at Leeward Community College from 1973 – 1983 and at the University of Hawaiʻi, Mānoa from 1983 – 2000. A career retrospective entitled Finding Latitude: The Work of Allyn Bromley was held at The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu in 2010. Her work can be found in collections including the Hawaiʻi State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and Honolulu Museum of Art.
