about the artist
Jade (they/she) is a young, queer artist from Canada who specializes in watercolour, sketching, pen and ink, and embroidery, making them a 'jack-of'all-trades' when it comes to the world of art.
This year I turned 22, though my love for the arts started when I was very little. I grew up in a small town in Ontario where I had access to many resources – art supplies, loving teachers and parents, and financial means to try new arts and crafts projects – I am incredibly grateful for the privilege I have and am honoured to be sharing my work with you to this day. Exploring creativity from a young age has shaped my thoughts about art and I've come to realize that at its core, art is about showing love and connecting with others.

a brief history
special thanks
Thank you to my parents, who have continued to support me throughout this entire process and challenged me to practice my passions outside of nursing. My younger sister 'Bean' is such a creative role model for me as well – I am proud to be your big sister.
​
To all of my creative friends, including Abby who sparks my creativity regularly and inspires me through her claymations and creative writing. Another friend of mine, and a passionate artist, is Alysa. She produces some of the most photorealistic pieces I have ever seen. She is such a supporter in my life and I am so thankful to have crossed paths with her.
​
To Emma, my partner, you are my light and source of inspiration in everything. You've taught me to never shy away from myself and how to feel my emotions fully. I feel like I've known you for lifetimes. I will always carry your spirit with me.
Finally, I thank you.
Thank you for seeing potential in me and having faith in my work. I appreciate all of you so very much
