Nile Jade was born in India in 1945 and started to paint only when she was 27 years old.  Nile Jade is very much a self-taught artist.  Although her main academic discipline was in Fashion Design, her passion and talent lies in painting.

The technique that Jade employs is very unique and unusual.  She paints on wood using brushes and knife which produces a special kind of "copper-tooling" texture effect.  

Like a lace-maker, the artist recreates refined yet warm bourgeois interiors.  Her feminine figures, always solitary, occupy their leisure in an atmosphere of serenity.

Nile Jade mainly painted for her own private pleasure and amusement at first.  Her interest in exhibiting her art works started only when she was 38 years old upon the strong encouragements from close friends as well as reliable appraisals and confidence given by other art admirers who have seen her artworks.
