Artist Exhibitions:
Because of my disabilities, it
is difficult for me to get
around to show my art. Also,
until recently I lived in an
Adult Family Home which took
all my income to live in and I
had none left over for contest
or gallery fees, or for
shipping my art. ...

| Your Personal Biography |
I paint under the artist name Adelle Jean, which is the French of my last name, John. My paintings are signed either "Adelle Jean and year" or "A.Jean and year"
I am a disabled artist who lives and paints in Amboy, WA. I am visually impaired and paint with the aid of a lighted magnifying lens from my eye doctor. I lost some vision due to damage of the optic nerve from pseudo tumor cerebri. I also walk with a walker and live with a full time caregiver.
I began painting when my brother, Jacob, died on Rosh Hashanah 2003 just meaning for it to me a temporary way to deal with grief. My paintings impressed my friends and members of my Synagogue and they encouraged me to continue. I have had no formal art training. I paint images that come to me--they are not from pictures. I like to paint whimsical and endearing scenes of both traditional and modern Jewish life. People like my use of color and my simple, cheerful images. |
