Colette Veasey-Cullors
Colette Veasey-Cullors is a Social Documentary Photographer whose artwork throughout her career has continually investigated themes pertaining to socio-economics, race, class, education, and identity. She seeks to question our personal connections to these subjects and how one might justify and rationalize their existence to themselves and others. She is interested in decoding these issues by employing the use of metaphor and investigating the point of intersection between these dichotomies. Colette’s collaborative interest resides in the process of social and creative engagement with individuals and communities, with a particular interest in under-served and underrepresented communities. She has worked with a number of community-based organizations, including Communities in Schools, Project Row Houses, Art on Purpose, 901 Arts, and Art Source South Africa. Colette is currently Associate Dean of Design and Media at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). In 2012, she was awarded the Maryland Institute College of Art, Board of Trustee Excellence in Teaching Award. Colette received her MFA in Photography from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 1996 and her BFA in Photography from the University of Houston in 1992.
