Jodee Hartney

Fine Art Photographer

Jodee Hartney has been exploring the camera arts since 1977.  Her first years of college were spent in chemical darkrooms processing and printing all formats of black and white film photography. Large format B&W portraits and smaller format documentary and street photography formed most of her early body of work. In the early 80', Jodee attended the Chicago Art Institute and studied under the tutelage of several fine art photographers and print makers. She returned permanently to California in 1990  to continue her studies at CSUS in Sacramento where she also earned her teaching credential in Art and began a teaching career in photo.

 

Since her shift to digital Imaging, Ms. Hartney has  developed, over past several years, a series of landscape photographs in and around the Sacramento Delta and Northern California regions. Still exploring the compositional techniques of early landscape painters and photographers, her formal concerns of luminous and reflective light are most evident in her imagery. 

​

Jodee Hartney continues to teach photography and and develop her craft as a fine artist in  digital photography.  Her images  are in the collection of the Cultural History Museum at San Jose State Library, and are archived in the New York City Library  9-11 exhibit.  Her recent commission of camera work is on display at the  Farm Credit West Bank in Woodland, California. Her work has been exhibited  nationally and internationally.
