Bryn joined Sworders in 2025, having spent over 15 years at Sotheby’s, including as a Director and Head of the Modern & Post-War British Art sales. She has in-depth knowledge of the international art market, and during her time there was instrumental in several landmark auctions, playing a key role in shaping the market for leading 20th-century British artists. A great admirer of British figurative artists such as Stanley Spencer, Edward Burra and William Roberts, Bryn also loves the work of the Post-War abstract expressionists such as Patrick Heron and Peter Lanyon.

She is particularly passionate about helping clients build and manage their collections at every stage of the buying and selling process, whether for private collectors or major public institutions.

Bryn holds an MA in the History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art, and in her free time is kept busy chasing her two young children, hiking and as a trustee for the incredible charity SWEDA, which supports those affected by eating disorders.
