For the last two years, I have gone on a most fantastic Artist Retreat to Laity Lodge.

It has been a great time of rest, renewal and fellowship with many artists, both from Texas and all around the US.

There are artists from all genres of art – musicians, visual artists, writers, spoken word, actors and actresses, sculpture, mixed media… the list goes on. It’s always a great time, and I come back feeling greatly refreshed and inspired to make more art, to be able to create more storytelling photography.

This year, I was able to present some of my photography, from an older project that is still unfinished. It’s a project about telling the stories of people’s broken childhoods.

I also took copious amounts of photographs at the retreat — enjoy them!
