Welcome to Trinity Cates CO.

Explore the intersection of words and images where creativity knows no bounds.

With a fervent passion for storytelling through both the lens and the pen. My journey in writing and photography is driven by a desire to capture the essence of life’s fleeting moments and transform them into lasting art.

Featured in the Spring 2025 issue of the Sucarnochee Review, with the short story Joan of Las Vegas.

I was born and raised in Alabama. I am passionate about perfecting personal expression through photography, fiction writing, and multimedia art.

I discovered my love for writing at a young age, shortly after reading The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. Since then, I’ve been writing poetry and short stories. I am excited to submit my poetry for your consideration. My writing is deeply rooted in personal experiences, with my poetry often serving as a diary of the emotions and challenges I’ve faced. It reflects my journey—growing up Catholic in the Bible Belt of Alabama, navigating my queerness in a conservative environment, and blooming into young adulthood.

 My short story, “Joan of Las Vegas,” is set to be published in the Sucarnochee Review 2025.
