For over forty years the unique photographic imagery of JILL LYNNE, a multi-generational New Yorker, based in NYC's Greenwich Village, has been exhibited, collected, and published internationally - with over fourty solo exhibitions, representation in important gooup shows, museums and prestigious private collections.

In August 2002, Lynne was awarded with a coveted Artists Grant from the New York Foundation For The Arts for being an "important artist…and vital to the community". In November, LYNNE - who is noted to be the first woman to use computer technology to enhance photography (in the mid 1970s)- exhibited her recently redigitized five-foot VINTAGE: "POP ICON Series"(1975-2004) at South Beach's A.J.Japour Gallery. In August 2003, Professional Photographer Magazine published a feature "Art and Portraits… Jill Lynne Says They Are Often One And The Same". Currently, LYNNE is working on two photography book projects, "X Posed: From The Chic To The Sleazy; A Decade 1975-1985" (digitally enhanced portraits of the nite-life scene}, and "Natura Viva, Natura Morta" (environmental images with poetry}.

LYNNE is known for her use of now-extinct technologies - the first computer process for photography, introductory color Xerox, and 3m color-in-color, as well as developing unique in-camera methodologies. LYNNE's Art delves into the surreal world of fantasy while making strong statements about women's roles, the environment, and other socio-political issues. Her imagery explores the evolution of lifestyle, nite-life, the art world, fashion, chic society, underground culture, diverse sub-cultures, flora, fauna, and the equestrian world. LYNNE's environmental work -including photography and advocacy for the Hudson River Park Conservancy -was celebrated in a special ceremony in which she received an official parks name badge ("Roaring Lion" - her Native American name) from former Parks Commissioner Henry Stern. In addition, for three decades she has turned her camera to the flora and fauna of South Florida, with a special emphasis on the disappearing habitat of the Everglades. LYNNE has been honored with a special exhibition showcase at the Everglades Commission. LYNNE is known for her commissioned portraits of hi-profile individuals in society, entertainment and politics, as well as NYC's families and children. Recent commissions have included Gorbachov (CNN), and the Clintons (the Intrepid). In addition Simon & Schuster has published her spirit@123ually based short story/ vignettes "The Great Perrier Wash", "The Miracle Bus", and "Angel Annie'.

With a background also in arts education, and administration, Cornell Capa handpicked LYNNE for the first faculty at the International Center Of Photography.
