Professional, Hearing impaired Artist, Singer & Writer. Creator of the Unique Firefly painting series on Canvas. Accomplished, American Painter. Internationally Collected, you can find Jadee's work in private and corporate collections across the country, Europe, Australia and Canada. Published, award winning poet with several works circulating in private collections.

Jadee enjoys writing children's adventure novels, poetry, short stories and song lyrics. She has three professional demos out of Nashville, TN for Original Lyrics. Jadee creates family friendly art straight from her heart. Due to the onset of hereditary hearing loss at age seventeen, she knew she had to talk to the world without having to hear it. This led her on a journey to find her true path in life. As she lives for enlightenment, she creates worlds where her dreams are achieved, her vision complete, and to hear is only to believe.

A word from the artist~~"I believe you should not get in such a hurry in life. There is always so much going on around us that we get caught up in the busy and hectic.

You should take the time to find what you love in life and live for enlightenment.....No Regrets. I don't want to think to myself, I wish I would've accomplished this or that." I want to depart this world knowing I experienced all my heart desired.

When you look at my paintings, you are gazing through a window to my soul....Reaching out to the world in hopes to achieve the many dreams inside of me and share with you my vision too :)

I have enjoyed art all my life. I remember as a child, I loved to color, draw, paint, sing, dance, write. Anything that involved creating and expressing myself. When I started losing my hearing, as a senior in high school, I had to wear my first hearing aid. This event changed my life. I lost all confidence and bulit a wall inside myself. The fear overtook me, and I became lost and distracted. Not realizing the calling of my life, I went to college and studied Psychology for two years. Later, to graduate with a Cosmetology degree, and I earned my Managing Business License.

I started my artistic career any way I could. I applied makeup for glamour photo shoots, and prepped and styled wigs and hair for theatrical productions like Kiss me Kate, Seussical the Musical, and Grease. Cosmetology was another way for me to be creative and physically help people. I'm content to help others, but I wish to inspire others. Through art and writing, I have been able to do that. I maintain my Cosmo license, but painting on canvas and displaying my heart's words through a verse and song is my soul's calling. It's what I was born to do."

This is a poem Jadee received an achievement award for...Dedicated to all the brave men and women who have risked their lives and/or died in the name of freedom.

"The Soldier" Jadee's Original Oil Painting and Poem, "The Soldier", Sold in 2005, and were Dedicated to Fort Carson, USA, where they're currently on display.
