Jen Seidel Favorite Things
- Has The Most Fun – To create on people instead of painting on a canvas that just sits in one place, as she being a people person has wanted to put her artwork on the human body having ended up thoroughly enjoying creating on something that is alive, interacting, being social and walking around that seems to be a piece of walking art
- Proudest Moment In Her Body Painting Career – Doing body painting for the Chamber of Commerce of Rockville with about 1000 people dressed up in suits after a fight of pulling body paint out of a dark place of non-acceptance, her pride becoming even more when her son finally approved it after initially having thought her to be very strange

Despite the fact that no one had known who she was, she had been talked about for many months following the contest.
