| Introduction | I was born in 1973, in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. My parents brought me to Texas when I was young. In high school, I discovered I enjoyed drawing from photographs and that led me to develop an interest in photography. After studying Psychology at The University of North Texas for 3 years, my professors saw my photographic work and stressed to me it was obvious this was my passion, not psychology. I graduated with a BFA in Photography and a Minor in Psychology. I realized later that I really was much more interested in neurology than psychology. It’s how the brain works that fascinates me, not why people do the things they do. |
