Touching everyone and everything to one degree or another, Art is a coercive, fundamental force every bit as real and tangible as gravity. Whether I am writing or capturing light, my best efforts are guided by the same surrendering spirit the devout bring to worship. In this way, Art, in all her manifest forms, gives witness to an emergence who says, “I Am.” If I can snare a patina of the Holy, through writing and photography, this justifies a lifetime of effort.
