Jenny Ellerbe

The beautiful photography of Jenny Ellerbe (born 1960) is new to our gallery. She works in northern Louisiana in a landscape that few photographers have ventured into. She states, "Nearly all of the photographs in this series were all taken within an hour's drive from home, some as close as my own backyard. They focus on partial scenes, the small parts of the whole that might otherwise be overlooked. Each image is affected by the weather that shifts the mood of the lakes and bayous at will. There's mostly stillness, followed by wind, followed by rain, followed by fog, followed by stillness. Much as life itself."

Her photographs are all made with a digital camera, archivally (and wonderfully) printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag by an Epson 4000, using custom made carbon pigment monochromatic inks. Prints made on 11 x 17 inch paper with an image size of approximately 6½ x 9 inches are priced at $400.00 (editions of 50). 10½ x 14 inch images on 13 x 19 inch paper sell for $600.00 (editions of 25). Triptychs are printed on 12 x 36 inch paper, and total image sizes are approximately 7 x 32 inches. They are priced at $975.00. (There are additional charges for matting/shipping.)
