journal. It’s not often that I find myself in a position in which I am entirely envious of an author’s work. Frequently, I’ll notice a sentence that gives me a good shiver down my spine, a character arc that makes my chest swell, a point-of-view decision that worked out better than anticipated. These are nit-picky …
confronting casual christianity
journal. If you didn’t know, I work at a Christian book warehouse. It’s lowkey havoc on my weak muscles, but I’m serving the Lord (bless us all who work in minimum wage, blue-collar, or retail/food. the world needs us all, yet we are sorely forgotten! Be assured, God plays no favorites and knows the fruit …

Over tea, Sage and Desira had been talking about the three’s uncanny arrival to the place- Juniper, Luca, and Ava had practically …
children of the light
photography. this is another collection i did on childhood for IB HL Art. This plays up nature and color as a means to showcase nature and childhood happiness.

on the times

return to the tree of life
photography. in late 2017, I began a project entitled “Return To The Tree Of Life.” It started as simply an IB (International Baccalaureate) art project. As part of the higher level curriculum, I was exposed to what it would be like to take art in college. We began with a central theme to our work …
