“With the intention of going beyond the deeply personal, my images are to be received by a broad audience. They speak of memory, personal tragedy, loss, and ultimately healing. My work is a visual expression of my inquisitiveness into the nature of reality. They are made with a balance of both heart and mind. The viewer will notice toys and reference to childhood games and imaginations in my photographs. When my father was a child during World War I, he made the drawings of fighting soldiers that appear in images from My Brother’s War.”- Jessica Hines
Hines studied fine art photography at Washington University in St. Louis where she earned a BFA and then an MFA from the University of Illinois. She combines her background in painting with traditional and alternative processes in photography. Respected for her creative approach in constructed imagery, she lectures on her work and teaches workshops internationally.
Residing in private and public collections, Hines’ work has been exhibited in nearly 100 solo and group exhibitions both nationally and abroad. Her work has been widely published, most recently in Camera Arts, Shots, and The New Yorker.
