Jeanne Wells is an internationally acclaimed photographer from Maine. 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. Wells studied with Mark Osterman at The George Eastman House and learned the polymer photogravure process from artist Josephine Sacabo and her assistant, Meg Turner at Josephine’s studio in New Orleans, Clay Harmon at North Light Photographic Workshops, Paul Taylor at Renaissance Press, and Silvi Glattauer at Baldessin Press in Melbourne, AU. 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.” Jeanne is represented by Unlimited Grain Gallery in Rotterdam, LensModern in London, and Susan Maasch Fine Art, Portland, Maine. Wells teaches and works at her studio, Things of This World Press, in Aroostook County, Maine. She says her early life in both music and poetry continue to influence and inspire her visual work.
