My name is Kerri. I grew up in the Piedmont of North Carolina and went to Appalachian State University to study art. I fell in love with the mountains and the town of Boone. It was an incredible place to pursue photography and the Lord. Everytime I visit I just feel the Lords presence so strongly. I think I just came alive when I started college. The Lord became more real to me than ever and I was more passionate about everything. I’ve never travelled out of the country and have never travelled out west. Needless to say-I’m ready.
I’ve grown up with cats but can’t wait to get a big dog someday that I’ll end up treating like a cat. I think the Lord loves revealing things through animals. Not necessarily something epic-just a feeling of awe or playfullness.
What do I write on here? A series of moments that have defined me? Or basic words that sum up my personality? I tend to base things on feelings rather than reason through them. I want to have a good balance though! I love color. It’s ridiculous how much I love color. Photography and art in general evokes something inside of me I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to explain. It’s similar to the Holy Spirit:) One of my favorite things is sitting in the warm sand up at the dunes after swimming. Sand fights are great.
I never want to let sleep or rest hold me back from doing something wonderful. I love to cook and bake. So if you love desserts-I’m a good friend.
Being outdoors is crucial. Hiking and camping are a wonderful combo and cooking at a campfire makes me feel like such an adult. oh! S’mores-maybe my favorite dessert and possibly the cheapest.
I recently got into cycling but have so much to work on. I live in ‘dairyland’ which is just small hills of farmland and I’m so blessed to be able to ride in it. Right now I work at a coffeeshop and the roastery for the coffeeshop. Basically, I’m part Barista and part beanbagger.
One of my dreams/hopes is to move people whether it be with art or writing or whatever. I want their spirit to wake up because of one of my photographs. I’m tempted to say it’s a high expectation but the Lord moves my spirit through art and I can’t be the only one.
I say I love alot of things so I might overuse the word. Better than overusing hate.
