Celebrating the Arts in San Bernardino July and August 2008 Constance Mayfield St. JeanThe work of Riverside photographer Constance Mayfield St. Jean is currently on view at the Feldheym Library Galleries through August. She started taking photographs in 1959 in Gopalpur, India as a cultural anthropology research assistant to Dr. Alan R. Beals.In 1967 she photographed every family in a Oaxacan village in Mexico and was paid in eggs and tortillas. This was in connection with an anthropological field study-teaching project headed by Dr. Beals. After learning calligraphy at Riverside City College in the 1980s, she took up photography again, specializing in long lens (400 mm) candid pictures of wildlife, rodeo riders, children, Native Americans, flowers, abstract landscapes and musicians all over southern California, Spain, Portugal and Morocco. She has received ribbons and awards from the Southern California Fair (1998 -2007.) Her photographs have been displayed in coffee houses in Riverside, Moreno Valley, Norco and Corona since the early 1990s. Gallery showings were at Yesteryear in Pomona, Riverside City College, Riverside Community Art Association, Riverside Art Museum, Riverside County Library system and a solo exhibit in San Pedro in 2008. Currently, St. Jean is concentrating on long lens candid portraits of adults and children at festivals, beaches, peace demonstrations, photojournalism and abstracts. In addition, she is a psychotherapist in private practice and music director of a monthly Dixieland jazz club in Covina. Her email address is rronccon@roadrunner.com.
