Adin Shade |
In 1954, Adin moved from Ohio to the Phoenix area and began studies at the Kachina School of Art under the direction of Jay Datus and other noble faculty artists. After a move with his family to Southeastern Arizona in 1972, he furthered his art education by attending Eastern Arizona College at Thacher. It was his enrollment at E.A.C. that encouraged him to take his talented drawing and watercolor techniques seriously. He now works exclusively in the medium of watercolor.
Unique handling of space and a variety of textures compose each painting of Adin's. His work is a reflection of the man and his everyday view of life. His watercolors depict soft hues in a tranquil form of beauty, which is always pleasing. His expressive Southwestern style seems to display a feel of mystical warmth.
His style also displays a feeling of mystical depth found both in his Native American images and his textured landscapes. "I'm happy to explain my methods and techniques; I believe that having secrets breeds stagnation. Each painting is a new learning experience, and has, I hope, expressed my enthusiasm for the medium. It is a privilege to apply paint to paper and achieve results that people accept and enjoy," says Shade.
Adin Shade is a member of the Southwestern Watercolor Society, the Arizona Artists Guild, and is an associate member of the National Watercolor Society. His work appears in galleries throughout the Southwest. | |
