Kelli Connell

[5]> Connell took her first photography class as a junior in high school, and was influenced early on by the work of Roni Horn, Francesca Woodman, and Larry Sultan.

[6] She received her BFA in Photography and Visual Arts Studies at the University of North Texas.

Double Life seeks to question ideas of identity, gender roles, and expectations made by society on the individual.

The series, which depicts a woman in a romantic relationship with herself, shows the "couple" having intimate and private moments in their lives.

Connell uses her art to define the multiple sides of the self in the overall human experience.
