“Through photography, I will show you the way out of suffering.” This is what I heard one day, as I was focusing the lens of my camera, looking through the grid of a metal fence on a desolate city block that reflected my own state of mind.
As I heard those words, I felt a presence filled with light. Stunned by the energy, tears rolled down my face. Despite the bleak scene before me, I was in a state of awe. Transformation through photography? How was that possible?
Being in nature was always where I came alive. My childhood dream was to photograph nature spirits... I remembered how my father first held his camera to my eye. It was magical. Through the viewfinder I could see spirits looking at me.
Moving to a big city as an adult, I lost all contact with nature and became quite ill. As time went on I prayed to find a way to recapture the spirits, joy, and knowledge once available to me as a child.
One night I was shown in a dream the way to take these photographs that I now share with you. They depict the wisdom abiding in the natural elements. This discovery led me to my own healing and to answer the call toward healing others.
Since their first released in 2008 as a large art book, The Book of Fay, I witnessed their transformative and healing impact on others. They evolved into the Apprentice Cards, an inter-active play between the healing energies of nature and your intuition.
They have now found their way to you, a portal to your inner world.
Enjoy the magic!
