Karen Leffler has been on a journey throughout the world to discover and experience spirituality. She will bring her world travels to Ketchum this week with an exhibition of limited-edition photographs at the opening of the All Things Sacred space in The Galleria. The show will open Friday, July 2, at 6 p.m. and will feature over 20 images from Bangkok to the Long Island Sound.

"I have been on a spiritual journey since I was 18," Leffler said. "I find photography helps to heal people. It's like finding a portal."

Leffler has traveled the world photographing and interpreting spiritual elements, from temples in Thailand to blue homes in India. She said she has a spiritual goal when she travels and does not go places simply because they are famous but to see what elements make the places special.

"I want to bring the spiritual world to Sun Valley," she said. "We are supposed to be an image of God and this is my interpretation of God. I call God a living presence."

Leffler resides in Penn Valley, Calf., and developed her skills as a photographer working for architects. She also worked for the Archdiocese of Fairfield County, Conn., where her skills in photographing sacred moments, rituals and masses became her passion. Her images are a colorful study of an "inner" or spiritual landscape that reflects her love for what she calls the living presence.

Leffler's show will continue through July 14.
