The Animal Artist A Homesteader and an animal artist kind of goes hand in hand. For Jade anyways! Jade is a self-taught mixed media artist who specializes in animal portraits. From her homestead chickens and geese, local wildlife, to custom pet portraits, Jade captures animals showing their true personalities. Jades Motto: Life is just better with animals in it.
All of my work starts with creating large scale originals on custom treated canvases. Tea staining, pen and ink, watercolours, acrylics, fibre art etc is layered to create these semi realistic animal works. then I have them professionally photographed by a local Ladysmith company, and printed in to cards, calendars, prints by a local Nanaimo printing company. My tea towels, totes and pillow cases are printed by my neighbour and my self!
