Jean Blades

Jean Blades grew up in Atlantic Canada and developed a love of sea, sky and wilderness while accompanying her father on his lengthy fishing trips, often by canoe.   Barbados became her second home for over 30 years and she brought these past memories with her. These experiences in her life are often depicted in her colorful, often emotional paitings of real places here in Barbados.  She uses only palette knife with acrylic paint to simply express her world through her eyes.  Represented by a number of local galleries, Jean also welcomes visitors to her home studio by appointment.
