ROBERT JADIS Robert Jadis was born in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada. There as a young boy he attended art classes at Acadia University. In his late teens his unique talent in painting and cartooning was recognized with a scholarship to the Nova Scotia School of Art. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for 25 years, serving both Canada and Europe. During later years he occupied the position of Senior Advisor and director of Security Operations for the Privy Council Office and the Office of the Prime Minister in Ottawa, Ontario. Robert has a lifelong commitment to volunteering and as a musician he was the founder and leader of “SouperJazz” a musical ensemble raising thousands of dollars to help feed the hungry in the Nation’s Capital. But, his truly proudest moment was being a Torch Bearer for the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Always creating and drawing, Robert became a successful cartoonist, being widely published and noted for his “Noseworthy”, “Horsewit” and “Fiddle Fork” cartoons. While wintering in Florida in the 1990’s he was the director of the St. Petersburg Art Institute for two years. It was there he selected the acrylic medium for his unique, contemporary creations. After wintering in Arizona, he returns with his partner Trude to their home in White Rock, British Columbia. Included among his multi talents you will find Robert writing children’s stories, soap stone carving and Celtic fiddle playing. He also enjoys driving “Miss Evangeline” his lovingly restored 1926 Model T Touring Car. |
