About

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. Recently, that side of me has been unleashed and the results are starting to trickle in.

You'll find me in photography contests, a drawing or painting or two (although I'll acknowlege the title of artist belongs to my extremely talented brother) and soon you'll now be seeing more writing. I started with my kids' books under the author name "Aunt JenJen Gandert" and self-published my first novel, "I'm Alive" under Jenny Gandert.

For the illustrations used in my first book, "Willa Gorilla" I edited photographs I'd taken—with photo editing software to give them varying degrees of a watercolor appearance.
