JUROR | Jake Gaedtke

As a second grader, Jake was completely lost and separated from the rest of his class as they toured the Detroit Museum of Art. The paintings surrounding him had Jake so spellbound that he was cut off from his class and mesmerized by a sea of art. He wanted so much to be able to do the work he was seeing before him on the walls, and that desire never left him.

Like most landscape painters, Jake loved the outdoors, and he grew up spending a great deal of time camping, fishing, hiking, and exploring. As a sixteen-year-old teenager, Jake's parents allowed him to take the two-year Famous Artist Course for Young People, a correspondence art course that started him on a path of learning and discovering the art world. A high school art teacher fresh out of college bellowed the fire inside of Jake through his passion, enthusiasm, and love for drawing, painting, and art history. His personal interest in learning and growing as an artist is something that has never left him.  Jake has spent a lifetime drawing and painting, but he wanted to focus more on landscapes and the natural world he was so close to. An invitation from the landscape painter Jay Moore to take his newly formed one-on-one Mentorship program elevated his skills and awareness, and professionalism. After five grueling months of extremely hard work and study, Jake's growth as an artist took a professional turn and he hasn't looked back since.

As an artist, I aim to share my vision and experience of the natural world and its many marvels. By combining the learned disciplines of skilled technique with all the emotion I feel "in the moment" as I paint, I desire to capture that moment of intense awareness for the viewer to experience and enjoy for themselves. 
In both my field studies and my studio paintings, I invite the observer to journey with me into a world of total sensory awareness of the countless wonders and manifold expressions of nature.
