Biography
Jeanette Lamb is American born. She is a writer, editor, professor and artist whose primary focus is collage. Drawing from a wide selection of resources, she combines literature, light, traditional mediums & digital technologies in an attempt to solicit questions about what it is to see, to communicate, to relay the experiences of life to another.
She studied filmmaking at the Detroit Film Coalition in 1994 followed by Russian Literature at Smith College, American History at Columbia College and History & Ideas at Baker University. It is no surprise that overlapping themes, ideas, directions are what eventually drew her attention toward the European Graduate School.
