Sean grew up in Raleigh N.C. with sister Dierdre Alisoun and parents Michael Reynolds, a noted Hemingway Scholar, and mother Ann, both English professors. Her childhood was consumed with the arts, starting piano lessons at age five with training in composition and improv, both classically and in the blues. By age eight she was performing in jazz clubs, playing blues improv on piano. At the age of six, she began ballet lessons, and was also creating her own graphic designs, influenced by her parents’ 60’s rock posters, books of Peter Max and M.C. Escher.

Upon White Zombie’s break-up, Sean returned to her love of photography and design.

 

Her first solo photography show was in New Orleans 2012 and sold out opening night. Since then she has had multiple shows nationwide, and curated a show in San Francisco featuring her work and fellow musicians/artists such as Moby, Pat Sansone of Wilco, and Mike Watt of Minutemen.
