I believe that an artist working for and representing the Kingdom of God should do the best of their ability to show and prove the depth, life, newness, creativity, truth and excitement of their Heavenly Father through the work that is set before them.

You have to be delicate with how you can portray characters other people are having a worship over.

I do have my own personal convictions and values, and I live by those. But as an artist, as a portrait photographer, my job is to tell the truth and to capture someone's spirit on a certain day. And it's never the whole truth; it's the truth I experience in a very intense and intimate fashion.

I believe in divine inspiration and things like that and I really relish a good, attentive, participating audience.

My life is art. Its how I express God.

As an artist, what you do represents who you are. Coming from a genuine, honest place - that's what I'm trying to do.

I feel like my mission is to be honest with myself. My mission is to share my truth - share, not give. I think that's what an artist is supposed to do: I think they share.

You do manage a somewhat religious attitude toward your art. It is a calling rather than a job.

When I write a book, characters come to life for me somewhere at the back of my head. I strive to make them flesh and blood in an abstract way, in words.
