Cheryl L. Hrudka has been a professional photographer for the past nine years. Before making photography a profession, Cheryl worked in various healthcare settings and her personal experiences have since contributed to her using her photography to visually enhance the surroundings of others and positively add to their daily, and often stressful, routines. Even though she continues to photograph with this idea in mind, Cheryl also continues to pursue another vision of the world as it surrounds her. "I try to use the lens of a camera to see that which one normally passes by in the rush of daily life. The colors in graffiti, wall textures, window reflections, the veins in a person's hands, these all have their own beauty and allow the viewer to participate as they interpret the image."
