Your Eyes
THROUGH A LENS OF FAITH

Beautiful imagery with grounded natural messages of faith.
Do you recognize what’s on your path?
I started seeing faith through signs and nuggets that were literally on my usual walking paths and took a photo to remember the significance, with no intent to do anything with the photos. But when you start taking steps of faith, it evolves and grows into more. Turning a few of the cross photos into greeting cards, then framed prints, which brought me to gallery shows, and then the photo books. I had been writing about faith along the way. Compelled to do more, without knowing why, I kept taking steps of faith. Telling God I would obey and create the book In Plain Sight, then I’d be done. But, I wasn’t. That’s a cool part about faith —doing without knowing the end point. I speak from a non-traditional path of faith, finding a deeper level of faith through ordinary moments where I saw signs, leading me to follow faith, to help others find the transforming power of faith and apply it in their life.
