I'm probably the only Christian, vegetarian, vintage dress collecting, tarantula loving, taxidermist's daughter you'll ever meet. Definitely the only one who can honestly say she has lived in a van down by the river! I am also good at laughing easily, making friends with baby raccoons, tigers, and vultures, and practicing complete vehicle ownership avoidance for the last 6 years. I get almost everywhere I need to in Denver by bicycle and I love it!
I like living my life a little offbeat....like Ashleigh Brilliant said, "It's good to know that if I behave strangely enough, society will take full responsibility for me." Grin!
Favorite things include kayaking, vampire movies/novels (and also anything by Dean Koontz), my brown tabby cat Kenny, Oriental supermarkets, pottery class, The Princess Bride, 24, Abba on 8-tracks, some Christian rap music, and studying Biblical prophecy, particularly via this website: Khouse.org.
Now, on to my work life.....
I'm a very enthusiastic Adobe Photoshop supporter, as I am a freelance photo retoucher and digital artist. My before and after retouching portfolio link is available upon request.
As for my art, I have been experimenting with my Epson scanner as a alternate means of capturing images, particularly very unique macro views of common fruits and vegetables. I sell prints online that would look amazing in a home kitchen, restaurant, or spa setting. Also, I love creating wildlife portraits and combining seemingly unrelated photographs into new, story-telling montages.
My digital art portfolio is located at Imagekind.com . In the future I may revisit painting as well, it's been a long time....and I have a macro scan of snails that would look completely amazing as a 4' x 7' canvas.
Thank you for viewing my Squidoo lens and have a great day! -Janeen

My Favorite Books on Amazon
Outlander
Amazon.com
"In Outlander, a 600-page time-travel romance, strong-willed and sensual Claire Randall leads a double life with a husband in one century, and a lover in another. Torn between fidelity and desire, she struggles to understand the pure intent of her heart. But don't let the number of pages and the Scottish dialect scare you. It's one of the fastest reads you'll have in your library."
Book #1 in my favorite series of all time.

Lightning
"On the night of Laura Shane's birth, a stranger appears from the lightning to prevent her delivery's being botched by an alcoholic physician. Throughout Laura's childhood the stranger reappears at times of danger. He protects rather than threatens, yet menace seems to follow him. Thirty years later another storm flashes and the stranger collapses, shot, at Laura's door. Now Laura protects her erstwhile guardian from mysterious hunters. He reveals that he and the hunters are time travelers. Laura, quick-witted and brave, leads the way to a bloody showdown. The paradox in time travel's tampering with history provides an interesting twist in this gripping thriller by a popular writer."
