Jennifer Weihmann is an artist, largely self-taught as a photographer. Originating in the rural setting of Grande Prairie, Alberta, Jennifer started her studio experience before formally entering the Faculty of Fine Arts at Grande Prairie Regional College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthering her education in Communications, Visual Studies and Art History, Jennifer completed her studies at the Department of Communication, Media and Film, University of Calgary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jennifer is best known as an abstract landscape and nature photographer, and generally does not photograph large scale landscapes. Instead she intimately immerses herself amongst the forest flora focusing on minimizing context and often leaving scale open for interpretation. This dual meditation of macro and micro invites viewers to consider their place in the natural world as these glimpses of rare transient moments illustrate the fragile and temporary nature of the world and our relationship to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jennifer is a collector and gathers organic objects from the natural environments she visits and uses these artifacts as the subject matter for many of her photographs. People often \u2013accidentally\u2013 refer to her photographs as paintings, and this is one of her favourite compliments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jennifer also has a body of work documenting the lives of people. She has a large body of work documenting her community at the Sunnyhill Housing Cooperative in Calgary, where she lived for seven years. Jennifer also photographed a group of adults, with whom she embedded herself, living on the streets of Houston Texas, and in Calgary Alberta, in 2005. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
