ABOUT
Crystal Jade is a multifaceted artist with interests that lie in fine art, music, writing and industrial art. She attempts to engage all of these elements in each piece of artwork she creates.
Her first experiences with art as a child were creating books and comics that she wrote and illustrated. Her passions evolved into acrylic portraiture painting when she began attaining an art education.
Her passion for acrylic painting became apparent in high school when she began painting colorful portraits of famous rockstars. She then went on to paint the fur babies of all her friends and family as gifts. She is now commissioned to create unique, custom paintings of varying subject matter and she is eager to expand her reach in order to find new inspiration and stimulating projects.
Her style lies somewhere between abstract and realism but she is capable of adopting any technique to fulfill a specific project. She loves being challenged with new ideas to create interesting pieces of art that invoke an element of rock n' roll swagger.
