My parents influenced us through hard work, creativity, strong Christian values, and a love of nature and animals. They encouraged us to use all of our gifts, including our brains. Through necessity, I had to use the brain so much at work that it overshadowed the creative side for many years. Now that creative side of me has been unleashed and the results are pouring in!
You'll find me in photography contests now and then, a drawing or painting or two (although I'll acknowlege the title of artist belongs to my extremely talented brother) and soon you'll see more writing. I started with my childrens' books under the author name 'Aunt JenJen Gandert' and hope to finish my novel within the next couple years.
For the illustrations used in my first book, 'Willa Gorilla' I used photo editing software on my own photographs, to give them varying degrees of a watercolor appearance. I created a photography book (more for my own records than anything) and love the printed version. I'll be updating that one and doing a new one sometime in late 2011 or 2012.
