Biography
| Shadow Angelina, 29, was born in Louisiana and raised on the Atlantic coast of South Florida. She is both self-taught and schooled at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. Heritage and grief brought her back to New Orleans where she has lived for 12 years. She has traveled and photographed in Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, the Czech Republic, 11 states and the District of Columbia. She is the daughter of an Irish father and a Cajun/Cherokee mother. Her family has lived in New Orleans since 1727. The struggle to understand her own eye, to find an artistic outlet and her desire to explain to others how she sees the world brought her on the journey to photography. Inspired by loss, crumbling beauty, enduring devotion, religion, honoring the past, places once loved or needed intensely but now forgotten, self-actualization, abandon and the lush landscape of the human experience, her passion and work bleeds, drowning you in whatever she shows you. Edit as of 01-10-06: These inspirations have been all the more amplified since the landfall of Hurricane Katrina and subsequent levee breaches in August 2005. After homelessness and exile in England, she and her family have returned to New Orleans. The passion to see, document and preserve this life altering experience is yet another motivation. Shadow Angelina lives in the Garden District with her dogs Morgan and Mischa and a cat, Auchentoshen. |
