About Janeen

Picking up a pencil or paintbrush has always brought me joy. Drawing came naturally. My art led me to teach in California and Europe with the Department of Defense Dependents Schools. I spent 16 years teaching and raising a bilingual family in a small, quaint German village surrounded by forests, horse-filled pastures, and loving villagers. There, I began studying with several artists in the Muenster area.

In 2000, I returned home to Sacramento, where I studied with Cleidi Sander, and I was very fortunate to have the chance to work with Anita Wolf. My art is used commercially in Folsom, CA, and can often be found on 50+ banners and posters throughout Historic Folsom’s main street advertising Folsom’s historic district. My fine artworks can be found in cafes and restaurants in the Folsom area as well as in private residences, both in Northern California and in Europe.

I am happiest with a palette knife in hand at home and also in my husband’s country, Germany. My paintings reflect my love for both countries and are my attempt to share the precious moments that I have experienced. I paint only with palette knives. No brushes are used except for the signing of my name. I hope you enjoy them.
