About
STATEMENT
I graduated from UC Berkeley with an MA in Painting. I work with a photographic image, doing portraits and urban landscapes. With some of my imagery, I combine the photographic image with paint, pastel, and collage. The photographic image is a fixed element, while the paint and collage are mutable.
Working on clear film enables me to see through the thin veneer of the photographic image to the layers of paint and pastel below, offering a slightly skewed reality.
In the assemblages, architectural imagery is set into salvaged doors and mirror frames to create a resonance between the image and the object.
I have taken portraits throughout my career, and the 4 x 5 polaroid Type 55 self-portrait process came out a need to find a suitable way to work in sensitive situations.

"Jeanne O'Connor's rural and urban landscapes at Susan Spiritus Gallery are equally painterly and photographic. By reconciling these two methods that seem mutually exclusive, O'Connor creates a body of work that is evocative, poignant and extremely personal." Nancy Kay Turner
