Hi and welcome to my website! I live in Round Rock, Texas, which is north of Austin, Texas. I have sold images of Western art, pets and other animals, cityscapes, trains, travel pics, flowers and art deco images. I have been making my own greeting cards for a few years but I especially enjoy taking my original photos and merging with textures to form amazing digital artwork. **All images are original to, and sole ownership of Janette C.
