Marisa S White<br />
Marisa discovered photography while attending college at the University of North Texas.<br />
Despite her studies for a Drawing & Painting degree, the dark room became a second home;<br />
seduced by the glowing red lights, the smell of fixer, and the ability for paper to suddenly<br />
sprout an image like a magician revealing the prestige of a magic trick. It wasn't long before<br />
she began combining photographs to her paintings, creating conceptual mixed media<br />
collages. It was then that she found her passion with photography, able to capture that<br />
spontaneous and real moment; a truth that is sometimes so fleeting, if only for a second.<br />
Today her work has evolved from the physical realm of collages to the digital world,<br />
focusing on the beauty and depth of conceptual photography. Limited only by imagination<br />
and inspired by current happenings, lyrics and emotions, she creates settings, often touched<br />
with nuances of surrealism. Her images are personal, like old friends, the kind you can't<br />
shake no matter how long they stay. But also the kind you miss when they're gone.<br />
Sometimes autobiographical, sometimes not; there's an element of relativity in each image<br />
that has a tendency to make the viewer stop and take pause.<br />
