"I'm a young native Washingtonian of Irish/Mexican/American descent. I have spent much of my life challenging rules and traditional viewpoints. My photography reflects my life and the way I see the world. My early work is 35mm but serendipity, through use of Holga and Woca cameras, has taken me to another level with in-camera multiple exposures. Sometimes my imagery is calm and relaxed, while at other times it is utter chaos. This new perspective captures the complexity of my world." - Cris McCarthy

Cris' work has been featured in a Washington Post's Camera Works special features article and has appeared in several DC area art galleries such as Easel Salon; Artomatic; Anonymous Returns Show; Whitman-Walker Clinic's Art for Life Exhibition and Auction; and Hickock, Warner Cole Architect's Artists Exhibition. One of her panoramas, "Border Control", currently hangs in the US Commissioner of Customs office.
