Artist Statement
Photography is my spiritual discipline. My first published photographs were taken to illustrate my work as a newspaper reporter and freelance writer, but later, as I followed a career path that led to ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church, my intent has shifted from showing what happened to exploring what matters. I’m especially interested in the way light can be a metaphor for grace or spiritual presence that breaks in and illuminates, transforming the ordinary to be extraordinary. Lately I’ve begun to work with a drone camera and I’m enjoying the way these aerial photos evoke a sense of calm through distance from the everyday world.
