Cheryl's Bio: Through adversity one learns more about oneself, and may come out stronger with a deeper appreciation for life around them. This is me. I am thankful everyday for my ability to walk and do anything I would like. Due to medical issues, I was not able to move normally over a number of years. During this time, I was given my camera. I learned patience waiting for intermittent good days to be able to take photos. I have become amazed by the incredible wonder in the beauty of nature. Bringing this amazement to someone is the purpose for starting my business and in return I receive joy. My desire is to evoke feelings of hope, happiness, peace, and tranquility.
I was given an art piece at about 25 years age that has had an impact in my life. It is a photograph of horses running. When I look at this piece of art I can visualize the defined muscles of these horses and the effort put forth to run at their highest potential. The steam from their breath shows how much energy is being exerted.
