In 2000 L’Heureux made her first foray to Antarctica and returned every year thereafter accumulating a huge archive of digital images that range from close-ups of albatross and penguins, to expansive shots of the Ross Ice Shelf as well as more intimate pictures of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s hut at Cape Royds.
Weddell Seal Pup, by JJ L’Heureux
L’Heureux is a naturalist and true adventurer. Her numerous photographic series include images of penguins, seals and polar bears as well as photographs of the people she encounters on her expeditions. To travel so far and endure harsh conditions takes a seasoned traveler and if L’Heureux was not that before her first journey she has certainly become one.
L’Heureux’s work has been included in hundreds of national and international solo and group exhibitions since the 1980’s. She attended the San Francisco Art Institute, San Francisco, California, the Academy of Art, San Francisco, California, the Parsons School of Design, New York, New York, and Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, Michigan. L’Heureux isn’t slowing down. She has 3 solo exhibitions being installed over the next 2 months and JJ is currently participating in several group exhibitions throughout the United States.
