Artist Statement

Having had a successful and award-winning career as a graphic designer, Wade has made the transition to fine art. She notes, “It takes more courage for me to put brush to canvas than it took to set sail on the ocean alone.” But desire to interpret her personal surroundings in a passionate, colorful style has won out.

Wade won the prestigious Juror’s Choice Award at the 2003 Summer Juried Show and Best of Show in the Autumn Juried Show of the Falmouth (Cape Cod) Artists’ Guild. She won the $1000 prize in a Canary Islands competition in 2002 and First Prize in the Tubac Arizona juried show in the spring of 2004.
