Allison DeBritz is an artist and educator whose work intimately considers the gendered paradigms of domestic spaces and relationships through an interdisciplinary feminist lens. She uses photography, collage, video, and installation as part of a ritualist process, engaging with the psychological narratives woven throughout her work. DeBritz holds an MFA in Art Photography from Syracuse University and a BFA in Photography from SUNY New Paltz. She currently lives in Upstate New York and teaches college photography.
