Jeffrey P. Heyne

Born and raised in Bristol, Connecticut, I wanted to become either a scientist or an artist. My father wanted me to learn a trade. Instead I became an architect, but I've always had a camera. I have two full time jobs I guess.
 
From the beginning I have been intrigued with accidental or unconscious beauty and much of my early work focused on portraying industrial architecture in an heroic light. I find there to be a truthful honesty demonstrated by engineers designing to resolve a physical requirement. Lately I have been looking at the flip side by reevaluating deliberate and conscious design by architects and artists who strive to imbue meaning but seem to miss the mark. I am exploring this disconnect.
 
For the last ten years, my photography work has been exhibited throughout the country and is represented in the collections of the Boston Public Library, Fidelity Investments, and Compaq Computers. It was recently shown in the magazine, The Photo Review.
 

In 2003 I was honored with the 2nd Annual Barbara Singer Award.
