About the Artist

Cheryl Beaudoin

My name is Cheryl A. Beaudoin, and I have a traumatic brain injury (TBI) from years ago. Although it was considered mild, it has changed my entire life. I now do things as I am able, not as I used to be. I refer to these as my "new normals." In addition, I have multiple physical injuries. After years of physical therapy, I can walk most of the time, though I must be careful and limit what I do. Thank God for that. I prayed for guidance to help me discover what I would be able to do, as I no longer knew what I liked or what was possible. Slowly, I began taking photos and joined a couple of international photography sites. Over time, I won judges' awards internationally after years of learning. What I learned was only the basics, but it was enough to keep me going. The camera itself is a challenge for me?finding one that allows me to take clear, beautiful photos. I?ve found one that works for me, but I need to get a new one soon. Thank you for considering my photos. God bless everyone who views them.
