Jeanette Brown

Mesa

Statement:

My name is Jeanette.  My art has been described as impressionistic and nostalgic.  My style is unlike any other I've encountered.  I use black and white infrared film to capture images (this brings a very dreamlike quality along with a lot of grain)!  I then "color" the images using Photoshop.  It's painting without the mess!  I love light and since photography is essentially capturing light I think I'm in the right field.  I even named my company In the Light Photography.

Background:

I have loved photography since my dad showed me his camera when I was a very young girl.  I followed this passion through high school as a yearbook/newspaper photographer.  In college, at the University of Arizona, I majored in Art with an emphasis in photography.  I loved printing in the darkroom and soon fell in love with hand coloring my images.  For years I worked as a portrait/wedding photographer and while still in college, I was hired at a local professional photo lab, Centric Photo, to head up their digital department.  This is where I really learned how to use Photoshop!  I worked at Centric for ten years until my husband and I moved to Phoenix to help start a church on the ASU campus.  I am now a full time mother and an artist.

Upcoming Events:

I am a current member of the Mesa Art League and participate in most of their shows.  Sometimes you'll find me at Mesa's Second Friday Night Out events.
