4. TODAY’S PANELISTS: CAT PALMER Born and raised in California, cat palmer developed her insatiable romance with photography at 15 years old, against the backdrop of Los Angeles… a place teeming with racial divides, cultural diversity, and economic inequality. Her world view further evolved as she immersed herself in the streets of Mexico, developing a new obsession that would plague her art, forever… human empowerment. She has exhibited all over the salt lake valley and united states and has won many awards. Cat has devoted her craft to the expression of meaning through images, and has found a powerful voice in women's empowerment. www.catpalmer.com
