When I first broke free from the conservative brainwashing of my childhood and entered what I thought was the "real world", my search for deeper answers began with a camera, Photoshop, and a deep connection to nature. As I began to understand my early religious indoctrination in context of modern social issues, the style of my photo composites became a tongue-in-cheek digital representation of the romanticized White religious imagery I grew up with. They later evolved to include commentary on Eurocentrism in American art and architecture and the stain of chattel slavery omitted from heroic colonial-era narratives.
