About the Artist

Janette Ihnatova Dengo, born in Slovak Republic, Europe in 1973. I came to Canada in 1986 and my entire life changed.  Little did I know this at the time with the obstacles and challenges and learning a new language, that I would have so many wonderful ventures in my life and be a part of the universe in such a contributing way.  I am an artist, writer and romantic and always reach and explore beyond the limits of the obvious.  I enjoy observing people and nature as I sense the essence of life on many levels and dimensions. 

Love for arts and passion for colour has opened my window to endless possibilities in exploring, experimenting and creating little masterpieces.  I enjoy photography, painting, writing, illustrating, mixed media, woodworking, jewellery design, sewing and knitting and constantly experimenting with different textures and colours.  Most of my inspiration comes from the nature and the elements.  I enjoy taking walks on the beach and trails, love to hike, camp and fish, watching sunsets and sunrises, and I love to have FUN and laugh to laugh some more...  Did I mention that I love to LAUGH?

The past few years have been very rewarding and kind to me.  I have sold copies of my artwork, illustrated and co-published 4 children's story books, had my photography in our local paper countless times and assisted numerous people in altering their health, wellness and lifestyle.  Bettering people's lives is accomplished by distributing HEALTHY CHOCOLATE and also by simplifying peoples home with de-cluttering techniques through REFINED ELEMENTS, my Home Staging business.  It feels truly wonderful to be alive and well, and have the privilege to live and enjoy life's beauty and live it to the fullest. 

I love learning and pretty much self taught myself everything to do with website building while spending a lot of time on the net.  Networking and socializing on line during the day is a bonus for me and that is where I do most of my art exposure and also the HEALTHY CHOCOLATE - XOCAI.  Becoming health conscious has no doubt been a big part of my lifestyle, especially when I became a mom so the chocolate really blends and contributes to all of our healthy lifestyles. 

Connecting with nature is a must for me on a regular basis.  In the summer months I love camping and sitting by the fire in the evenings and gaze into the flicker of flames while they do their enchanted and hypnotizing dance.  During winter months I enjoy skating, downhill skiing, tobogganing and most certainly building snowmen.  My kids just love those.  The best part of my life is no doubt without a heartbeat being a mom, even though it feels overwhelming and challenging at times to juggle all that I do and be a full time mom.  I love spending time with my family and thrive to be the best in my children's eyes.

In the early part of 2007 the SECRET has contributed tremendously to my awakening and in the pursuit of happiness by embracing and exploring my talents beyond limits.  I had a lot of things happening all at once and it was a bit overwhelming at times, where now it feels smooth and balanced. 

Please make yourself comfortable and browse through my gallery of paintings, photos and jewellery.  Don't forget to have a peak at the healthy chocolate as well and all my ventures.  Let me know if I can further assist you in anything and contact me via email at jadengo@rogers.com or directly at 519-752-9213.

Thanks for stopping by and have a radiant day.

Namaste~
