Tina Marie Brookes is a young woman from the South, born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. After 25 years of working in the field of Accounting and Business Management, a defining moment changed her life. A wellspring of creativity leaped in her spirit when she captured a breathtaking glimpse of God's awesome and majestic creation through the camera.
Before photography, Tina was always finding herself longing to do something creative and is now having the time of her life taking pictures of God's beautiful creation and adding Scripture verses to the photos. It has been said that she has an eye for the art of photography.
The Scripture-based, inspirational photo art was born out of Tina's love for the Lord, His Word, and His creation. The desire of her heart is to bless others through her photography, causing them to look to the Lord and to come to know the awesomeness of the God Who created the Universe.
