Jeanette Lee Adams (1980) earned degrees from BYU-Idaho in fine art, Brigham Young University in Marriage, Family, and Human Development, studied illustration from Utah Valley University and Classical Art from Beaux-Arts Academy, and received her MFA from New York Academy of Art.

Jeanette melds her classical training and skill with innovative, loose spontaneity in her beautifully insightful oil paintings. She approaches her work with heartfelt sincerity as she acknowledges the human condition and all of its suffering with empathy in a contemplative, harmonious, and faith-filled way. This enables her work to offer hope, healing, connection, and joy as a gift to viewers who are suffering and in need of amplified vision and perspective.

Her work is influenced by her faith and experiences of family life growing up in an LDS family and then raising children of her own. Her studies in marriage and family life along with being a mother attune her to portraying the joys of childhood and the responsibilities, challenges, and opportunities inherent in parenting, as well as the value of family life. She often uses children as a metaphor for larger themes and in addressing fundamental questions about the nature of life and overcoming challenges inherent in living.

Not only figures, but all of her paintings including landscapes and still life paintings serve as allegories with deeper meaning and practical application, providing layers of truth and instruction for viewers to unfold. Her ability to portray the influence of the Divine within the human experience along with her loving and enthusiastic depictions of nature and all of its wonder makes her work inspiring, elevating, and timeless.
