Jadyn LaDeau was born in coastal Maine and grew up in Deer Isle and Stonington. She continues to live in Deer Isle, surrounded by the ever changing landscape there. Inspiration comes from her everyday experiences living in small town Maine, and from the unique surprises
that come from exploring the world around her. Subjects are generally local landscapes and characters. She conveys the feelings these places and people evoke for her primarily through oil and gouache painting.
