I am honored to be included with some of St. Louis' most notable photographers for the upcoming Art of Photography Exhibit.

When : August 21, 2015 through Sept 19, 2015
Where: Grzyb Gallery
133 South Central
Eureka, MO

Featuring works by Greg Klumpers, Greg Holden, Jim Irwin, Jane Linders, Beth Goyer and Jim Trotter.

So pleased to announce a new partnership with Deck The Walls, The Great Frame Up and The Framing and Art Center. Now you can purchase my photos in a brick and mortar store in over 150 retail locations throughout the USA and Canada. If you live in the US , you probably recognize one of these business names and have seen the store at a mall near you. They are all custom frame shops with hundreds of locations nationwide .

Don't live near on of these retail stores? No worries, my photos will still be available 24/7 online at: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/jane-linders.html…

St. Louis is known for many things, "Brick City" , "Mound City" and it's famous lack of regard for preservation. I saw a lot of brick this spring , as well as mounds of debris as I spent the spring touring and photographing abandoned St. Louis City Schools. The St. Louis Public School district scheduled public open house of over 30 closed schools that had fallen into disrepair in the hopes that the schools could be redeveloped and re-purposed. The STL Public Schools Building Revitalization Collaborative hosted a series of tours open to intrepid visitors . It was sad to see lovely, turn of the century buildings abandoned and neglected. Century old schools were looted, vandalized and many have extensive water damage. Thieves removed copper wiring and the freeze thaw cycle left lots of peeling paint. These 100 year old buildings contiue to fall into disrepair and attract crime into the area.

Beautiful , brick buildings, many by architect William Ittner suffered from benign neglect. It was a challenge to photograph these schools as all were without electricity so I had a lot of low light conditions. Dodging downed ceilings, soggy insulation, dead animals, glass shards and mold, I spent a glorious spring photographing the beautiful chaos of cracked walls and peeling paint. Wearing long sleeves, long pants and sturdy shoes to protect me from scratches, broken boards and rusty nails, I captured the broken windows, graffiti and school artifacts left by the former inhabitants. As I toured the schools I heard lots of comments and ideas on how to revitalize these shuttered schools. Artist spaces, low income housing, apartments and office spaces were some of the ideas tossed around. Some of the buildings are selling for as little as $100,000 and others for over $2 million. I hope some of the irreplaceable architecture of these shuttered schools can be saved.

I am delighted to be included in the upcoming "In Black and White" at Edwardsville Arts Center. I'll be exhibiting some of my infrared images.


May 15 - June 19 In Black and White


In Black and White explores art that embraces the absence of color. Black and white become a unifying force that binds seemingly incompatible identities. Eight artists working in photography, sculpture, and drawing purposely explore how black, white, and gray can be intentional as a conceptual framework. In an era of limitless chromatic variations via digital technology, these respected artists from our region present works that are “old school” in the analogue nature of their processes but are decidedly contemporary in creative thought. From 19th century photographic printing processes to drawings that build off of intaglio printmaking and hand-stitched embroidery, In Black and White will challenge viewers to consider the powers of limits.



Here is the list of artists:


Erica Popp (alternative process photography)


Mark Douglas (photographer and professor at Fontbonne)
·

Stan Strembicki (photographer and professor at Wash U)
·

Jane Linders (alternative process photography)
·

Christopher Day (large scale drawings on panel)
·

Christine Holtz (conceptual textile/installation artist…MFA alum SIUE)
·

Joanna Hoge (mixed media over intaglio)

I just finished hanging my new infrared photography series at Crave. The dreamy infrared photos look so good hanging against the brick walls of this funky coffee house. Crave is more than just a coffee house, it's a community. They serve up lunch and delicious Kaldi Coffee. The entire atmosphere invites you to linger in this remarkable space on the campus of St. Louis University. My exhibit will be up until June 2015, stop by for a cup of coffee and take a look at my latest infrared photos from my Feng Shui series.

Thank you , Crave, for supporting local artists!
