CURATE + INSPIRE + RESTORE
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 Faith teaches me to reflect God's Light. 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 and Loves 2SLGBTQI+ (LGBTI); I don't believe I am qualified to Judge anyone. I don't believe they are a community of sinners. 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
