Courtney Lassiter was born and raised in rural North Carolina, the place and time which served to shape her formative years. Since then, Lassiter has studied as a multidisciplinary artist at Davidson College with a double major in Studio Art and Film, Media, & Digital Studies. Combining her interests in mixed media traditional artworks with the digital landscape has allowed her to document not only her personal mythology and life experiences, but also the lives of those beyond her. Her current projects have included photographing and documenting under-researched Ottoman-era architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as her first documentary film on the punk movement in 1980s Berlin. Her current creative practice has been greatly informed by international perspectives gained through travel for her studies.
