Visual Arts - Artists who use personal identity?

Q: Can anyone suggest Artists who use personal identity as their major theme in an artwork? Can anyone also suggest notable artists who use photoshop in their artworks? thanks

A: Guy-Vincent Ricketti http://www.realneo.us/Reception-for-Guy-Vincent-Ricketti-Identity-Remix Kim Noble http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/gallery/2008/sep/11/mentalhealth.art?picture=337451128 Also... Matthew Baigell and Jonathan Weinberg propose two radically different versions of the 20th-century American artist. In composite, Baigell's artist is a white, heterosexual male painter (or Georgia O'Keeffe) searching for truth in nature and the self. Molded by environment and experience, inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman, Baigell's authentic American artist is political, patriotic, alienated, self-creating, self-transcending, philosophical, and moral. He finds meaning in the conditions and conflicts of contemporary life and falls short, or fails, whenever he forgets that more is at stake than mere personal artistic expression.
