Bio
Photographer Jeanne Wells was born and raised on the Maine coast, where she has lived most of her life. Using medium and large format cameras, she employs a range of antiquarian and alternative printing techniques such as wet plate collodion, photogravure, platinum, liquid silver emulsion and lith printing.
Recent exhibitions include: Panopticon Gallery in Boston; The Kiernan Gallery in Lexington, Virginia; LightBox Photographic in Astoria, OR; New Orleans Photo Alliance; and Galleri Form & Farg in Eskilstuna, Sweden. She has received the Merit Award from Black and White magazine; a special mention for her website in Black and White UK magazine; and was one of six women written about in a View Camera Magazine piece entitled, “Women and Their Big Cameras.”
Many of her collectors were introduced to Jeanne's work through the Daily Print project which she conceived of and ran from 2008-2011. The project consisted of one print each day, made in the darkroom and emailed to a list of subscribers. Jeanne is represented by Unlimited Grain Gallery in Rotterdam and LensModern in London. Her work is held in private collections around the world.
