CURATE + INSPIRE + TRANSFORM
Curating Life: A Sacred Lens
In the quiet spaces between seconds, where time hesitates & breaths linger, I find my purpose. My life, a gallery of experiences, emotions, & fleeting moments, becomes a captured image for transformation for me & the viewer. Each photograph is an inspiration; light & subject illuminate the colors of existence, weaving a tapestry that transcends mere being.
The Holy Ghost’s Whispers: Between atoms & galaxies, the Divine breathes. I am shown the invisible within everyone & everything. My camera becomes a divining rod, pointing toward the sacred hidden in plain sight.
Moments in Time: I capture the ephemeral—the dew-kissed morning, the whispered secrets shared between friends on the street, the sun’s last embrace before twilight. These moments, like fireflies, illuminate our souls.
Emotional Alchemy: Emotions, raw & unfiltered, are my alchemical ingredients. I transmute pain into resilience, joy into gratitude, & longing into hope. My lens captures the alchemy of the human spirit.
Life Curated: I invite others to curate their lives—a minimalist gallery where purpose hangs on bare walls. Prioritize what matters, discard the noise, & let the heart’s whispers guide the arrangement.

I curate my life with experiences, people, emotion, moments, & inspiration. I use this curation & inspiration to transform my life & others' lives around me.
I am drawn to the concepts of moments in time, emotions & transformation, & they play key roles in most of my work.
What I curate & collect through my photography reminds me I am connected to The Holy Spirit, connected to this beautiful world & everything & everyone in it.
The Bible is beautifully poetic to me and I often use it along with quotes from songs or poetry to help creative contemplation & meditation.
I encourage people to curate their own lives with what matters most to them, to simplify their existence, to live an emotionally connected life.
My Christianity teaches me to Live + Love like Jesus. That means I believe in loving - with strong boundaries - my enemies, neighbor, & everyone else on this planet; In being non-judgmental & accepting of everyone in their own beliefs & personal choices; that we are all created equal; That hate & other negative emotions of any kind towards myself or others can lead to toxic & damaging behavior to myself & to others, even when I am suffering; It is spiritually wise to be 'the most generous' with my capacities & with my love even when I am feeling depleted in both; Being radical & defiant for a 'socially just cause' is a spiritually good thing; In the value of challenging corrupt leadership.
My faith supports 2SLGBTQI+ (LGBTI); I don't believe I am qualified to Judge anyone. I don't believe it is a sin. My God loves everyone regardless of gender, gender identity, & sexual preferences. He loves everyone period.
I believe a better word is created through love, compassion, community, & change.
That means I believe, that we are all created equal + in volunteering + in limitless compassion + in forgiveness + in community + in connectedness + in loving + in generosity + in serving to those in need + in giving + in advocacy & protection for all living things
