Elaine's Story
Elaine Hoogeboom struggled with back pain for most of her life, and eventually required three back surgeries in four years. During her physical rehabilitation, she began taking photos of birds, flowers, and butterflies.
Following her third surgery, she experienced some complications from the anesthesia, which caused a speech impairment. She withdrew from the world and started using watercolor pencils to fill her time. She uses her art to show herself to the world.
