The desert doesn’t sing loudly — but it still sings.

I stood above this dry, wild valley as the heavens opened in color. The aurora painted the sky in unexpected hues: pinks like rose petals, greens like riverbanks, soft violet touches that felt like a whisper from eternity. And below, the desert stood still. Not trying to match the sky. Just receiving the glory.

I named this image “When the Desert Worships” because it reminded me that God’s glory isn’t reserved for the lush or the perfect. It descends on the barren places, too.

The wilderness in your life is not forgotten ground. It's where wonder breaks open — quietly, unexpectedly, undeniably.

May this piece be a reminder that even in your driest season, God sees you — and He is not done revealing His beauty.

Details:
– Printed on fine art paper, canvas, or metal
– Perfect for prayer spaces, encouragement gifts, or reminders of grace in dry places

What do you do when the sky threatens to steal your dream just as it begins?

The cool autumn air bit at my skin as I stood at Lucky Peak Dam, the camera in my hand heavy with anticipation. I'd been chasing the perfect shot of the northern lights for months, and tonight was supposed to be it. The forecast had promised clear skies and a vibrant display, but as I stood there, I could see the clouds creeping in on the horizon, dark and foreboding. My heart sank. What if this was it, and I missed it all?

The smell of wet earth filled the air as the wind picked up, swirling leaves around my feet. The quiet murmur of the water below mixed with the distant howl of the wind. I glanced at my camera settings for what felt like the hundredth time. Astrophotography is always a gamble — too much exposure, and you lose the stars; too little, and the sky stays black. But nothing prepared me for the unpredictability of nature as I fought the urge to pack it all up.

Then, as if in answer to my silent plea, the sky ignited. A burst of red and green lit up the clouds, reflecting off the hills and turning the dark landscape into a vivid painting. I gasped, fumbling with my camera, my breath catching in my throat as I clicked the shutter. The lights danced, their colors shimmering like a dream—fleeting, yet unforgettable. For a few heart-stopping moments, everything aligned, and I captured it.

The fear of failure slipped away, replaced by awe and gratitude. The storm might have rolled in, but the lights had outshone it. It was more than a photo. It was a reminder that beauty often comes in the midst of uncertainty, that sometimes, the greatest rewards are found in the risks we take.

Meet The Artist

I discovered my passion for capturing the wonders of creation at twelve, holding a pink camera under the sprawling branches of a black walnut tree. It was spring, and the air carried the heavy perfume of fruit blossoms. Before me stretched a field awash in purple wildflowers, their brilliance framed by clouds lazily drifting across an endless sky. Though recovering from illness, my soul stirred, urging me to preserve the moment. The click of the shutter felt like a vow: I would someday share the beauty of this world with everyone.

But life had its demands, and my dream grew quiet as I matured. At twenty-six, a degenerative nerve disease altered my course. With hands that betrayed me and my vision blurred, the lens seemed further from reach. The ache to create remained, yet my abilities became uncertain and my aspirations distant. I prayed, unsure if the desire to photograph was meant to stay or fade.

In 2019, the quiet ember reignited. With faith as my anchor, I enrolled in classes to master the art I once thought lost. The work was painstaking. My fingers trembled, my sight faltered, but each image I captured spoke of determination. Slowly, I rediscovered my rhythm, my purpose, and my joy.

By 2023, I had learned not only to take photographs but to share them. An online academy guided me in turning passion into livelihood. Hesitant, yet hopeful, I launched a small store, my art a reflection of my journey. That fall, my first sale arrived—a quiet affirmation.

Today, my photographs grace walls and hearts. Each frame whispers stories of resilience and grace, a reflection of a Creator’s hand in my life. Through my lens, I offer the world a glimpse of glory, one image at a time.
