Kate Parsons is an educator, video artist and VR creator living in Los Angeles. She obtained her M.F.A. in Media Arts from UCLA in 2015, while also completing a certificate in Digital Humanities. She earned her M.A. in Digital Art and Video in 2013, and also holds a B.F.A. in Fine Art and Graphic Design and a minor in Religious Studies from Montana State University.
