Just so I don't forget where I have been to get where I am, this is a copy of my previous, about page, for the website.
Also, includes some of that pesky education, training and credentials stuff. 

Hi and welcome to Living in a State of Jen. My name is Jennifer Horton aka Jen. I have always had a deep passion for art and photography and this has naturally translated into my chosen field of Computer Graphic Design, which I studied at Lewis and Clark Community College.

Through my degree training I have or am studying in the areas of Basic Design, Graphic Design, Drawing, Public Speaking, Advanced Digital Photography and Web publishing amongst many others. Along with those areas I am trained in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver and Illustrator.

I cannot begin to describe the passion I feel for the work that I am doing. Photography and graphic design to me is visual story telling using light, color, composition, line, shape, texture, text and more to convey the world around me and the world within. I am constantly striving to create powerful, memorable and inspiring images and graphics. I love everything from advertising, Photoshop manipulation to nature, macro, creative portrait, photojournalistic style photography and more.

Recent works published, exhibitions and more:

Most recently my family and myself have relocated from Illinois to Mississippi and are eagerly looking forward to what this next chapter in life will bring.
