Jane writes:
My attraction to the Cyanotype process is the physical involvement during the printing process, allowing me to use my hands, eyes, and intuition when printing. I like the way the light, time, salts, and myself combine together to slowly deposit them on beautifully handcrafted paper. The depth of the tactile experience and the imposed slowness reveals moods and nuances in my images that I wouldn't normally see.

Jane Linders is an award-winning photographer whose prints are in numerous national and international collections. Linders has exhibited her work everywhere from her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. She is a tireless image-maker, whose photos can be seen in galleries, books, and magazines.

Jane's current passion is an alternative process called Cyanotype. Cyanotypes, also called sun prints, are one of the oldest photographic printing processes dating back to the mid 1850s. She is fascinated by both the simplicity and the alchemy of the Cyanotype process. You can see more of her photography by visiting her website at www.freewebs.com/janelinders.
