Over the past few years, she has redirected her signature style of ethereal sunlit children’s photography into mediums outside of just photography. Tawny is a self-taught artist who has been working in the field of photography for the past 16 years. Born in Tokyo, growing up an ‘army brat’, she had the unique opportunity to take in the cultures of three different continents all before the age of 12. By then she was in the United States and elbow-deep in her aunt’s theatre company. She studied theatrical arts from the age 12 to early adulthood. After receiving a scholarship for dramatic arts, she switched paths and focused her interests on being behind the camera. Her background unquestionably contributes to her wide range of talents. Photography: Color, Digital and Manipulated on Paper. Limited Edition 2/30 16×20 Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Signed & Numbered on back Printed with 4cm white border Not Buried, Planted.

For Chatmon, her photographs are the first layer which she manipulates and unites with other photographic components. After that, she often adds overlappings of gold leaf, paint, digital collage, and illustration. Doing so, she produces a work that is more than just a work of photography but a new photographic expression.
She currently resides in Maryland with her husband and three children.
