Hi! Thank you so much for visiting my page! If you do not already know me, my name is Jade Bland. I am a 23 year old, self taught artist, and on August 1st, 2024, I moved from Mississippi to Wilmington, North Carolina. I love Jesus, my family and friends, to travel, watch sports, paint (obviously), and my cutie cat, Belle. In Spring of 2021, I made an instagram “JadeBland.Art” (against my will, shoutout Anna V) to sell 21st birthday signs and here we are nearly 3 years later!

In December 2023, I graduated with a B.S. Degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Mississippi State University. While I love the left side of my brain and logical thinking, the right side clearly needed more attention. So, in May of 2023, just this past year and only a month prior to graduation, I was blessed with the opportunity to live paint at a wedding and decided I wanted to give it a go as my full time job. As a Christian, I believe we are called to use the gifts God gives us, and so I am trying my best to follow the path He made for me.

While this decision has not been easy to make and I know I will face challenges as a full-time artist, the joy that I can to bring to customers is unmatched. I love getting to make alterations to your favorite photos, reunite people with passed loved ones on paper, and be creative to make whatever vision you have in mind come to life. I have so many ideas and cannot wait to start showing the world!
