Jade Ahn
Jade Ahn is a fine artist based in Dallas, Texas, whose journey in art began with childhood observations of beauty in her surroundings, which she captured in drawings and writings. Although she initially pursued video production and design, her true passion for fine art led her to the United States, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art with high honors. After graduation, Jade faced significant life challenges that forced her to step away from art, leaving her feeling lost and disconnected. However, a chance encounter with local artists reignited her creative spirit, prompting her to return to art as a vital means of self-expression and healing. Now, art serves as her remedy and refuge, allowing her to reconnect with herself and the world, and remains an essential part of her existence and identity.
Recently, the artist has been using donuts—a beloved American treat—as a lens to explore and represent various facets of American culture and its rich values, as perceived through her multicultural viewpoint. Each of her current paintings reveals different aspects of society, interpreting how daily experiences and cultural elements are intricately interwoven within this diverse community. She seeks to highlight America's distinctive attributes and complexities by showcasing its most intrinsic and iconic characteristics through this quintessentially American treat, paired with bold and vibrant hues and arrangements
