Behind the Lens

​Greetings,

Thank you for taking the time to visit.  My name is Sheralee and I am an auto-didactic photographer (meaning self-taught).

​

     Several years ago I began to ask myself what had I ever done to develop my creative side...and the answer I found was this......I had spent my entire life caring and nurturing others, both professionally and personally.  I was a specialized Registered Nurse for 24 years and went to graduate school at the University of Florida (USF) training as a Clinical Social Worker and Researcher.  In other words, a natural born caregiver.

     I have raised 3 sons and I am still raising my daughter.  Caring and nurturing others is an art form I can assure you, but the focus and effort is taxing.  So I searched my soul to find what it was creatively that drew me in, and photography was what I found.  Capturing the "spirit of life" is what speaks to  me and I am enthusiastically pursuing those moments.
​So I began a journey of discovery that I am still on.  I am looking for my own eye and my own style of photography and these photos are my early attempts toward that end. I find photography an energizing endeavor that requires effort, learning and dedication to the craft...but it isn't taxing.  It's that other kind of creativity:)



Peace to you that passes understanding,



Sheralee
