BIOGRAPHY

Born in Belfast in 1988, during her early years Jade lived in a variety of places including Shanghai, Guernsey, Skibbereen, and Aranmore Island, before her family settled more permanently in Belfast.

 

While attending Strathearn School,  Jade was encouraged to apply to Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London. She graduated in 2012 with a BA (Hons) of Fine Art and then returned home to complete the MFA at Belfast School of Art.

 

Having developed a keen interest in teaching,  Jade went on to complete a PGCE at University of Ulster and has taught both art and dance in a variety of schools and settings.

 

Since setting up her home studio in 2024 Jade has returned to paint and her work is inspired by her local surroundings in Co. Down and time spent in Co. Donegal.

 

Jade's work has been exhibited in London, Belfast, and Berlin.​
