 Jade Hills - Natural Bloom.jpg)
Artist Statement: For this design, I was inspired heavily by my love and strong connection to nature, as well as the parallels that can be seen between human life and nature. More specifically I chose to focus on dreadlocks, and how to me they've always represented a journey of growth. In addition, I chose to incorporate several vines and flowers to show how both dreadlocks and vines (which also coincidently have similar shapes) are symbols of growth.
Hi, my name is Jade, and I'm a local artist here in New Orleans. I've been drawing and painting since I was little, and I am currently an art major at Xavier University, minoring in African-American studies. You can also find me teaching painting classes of my own, at Painting with a Twist studios in Metairie and Gretna!
