BEHIND THE LENS

Sherri Powers

A Maryland-based nature photographer

drawn to the beauty of the natural world

and the quiet places where creativity lives.

As a child I spent most of my time exploring the outdoors -

climbing trees and building forts with my brother.

If kept indoors too long,

I would express my creative energy

by doodling on anything and everything within reach.

My creative outlets have changed over the years,

but my muse remains the same -

this beautiful wild world God created.

You can often find me

on a mountain,

in a forest,

sailing,

or exploring local and National Parks.

As a believer in Christ.

I am not only drawn to nature for what it is,

but for what it reflects -

the character of God within it.

The Hebrew word bara translates to “create,”

and in Genesis we are reminded

that everything God created was good.

It Was Good

is an invitation

to explore God’s creation,

to slow down,

and to simply be still.

Through this practice,

I’ve learned to truly observe the world around me

and feel more closely connected to our creator.

My hope is that these moments

captured through my lens

invite you to experience

all that is good.
