Blackmon studied photography at the university of Missouri State. She aims to
mix historical art, and normal art motifs with personal experiences from her
past. Her photographs tend to reference classical art, modern art, and even art
from album covers. She strives to blend realms of the realistic with the
surrealism that comes from modeled/painted art.

Blackmon’s most recent work, Homegrown, picks up where her last work, Domestic
Vacations, left off. Homegrown follows the same formula as her other pieces of
work. This set is reviewed as being her strongest set to date in terms of
composition. Homegrown aims to those places outside the house that are common
in one’s upbringing. The main streets, salons and fields behind the house are
familiar to its audience and shape our childhood just as much as our homes do.
It is these photographs that invoke the deep-rooted emotions that we all have
for our home town.
- 3.Blackmon is an artist
who attempts to invoke deep rooted emotions in her photography. Although, she
may not succeed in reaching every critic, she has reached me. Her art is
heavily centralized in her themes, but they are fantastic in their design and
understanding
