About

In a society where we have learned to spend a lot of our time looking down at technology, or looking inward, focusing on our own problems and perspectives, Jean Adams has found that remembering to look up is key to peace and connection – with others and with the God who made the Heavens. Adams found that the first thing she does when going outside, especially at night, is look up. She also came to recognize the serenity that comes with looking beyond the immediacy of the macro and taking in the univers-al picture.

A fourth generation Montanan, Adams has always enjoyed the outdoors and looking up at the starry skies. As a child, Adams spent time with her grandfather who taught her how to find the basics in the night sky – the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper, the North Star, and Orion’s Belt. As a 10 year old, Adams first saw the Northern Lights one summer night while star-gazing at the family cabin in Northwestern Montana. That core memory, combined with her other stargazing experiences, solidified Adams’ love for the night sky.

After completing educational pursuits on the eastern seaboard of the United States, Adams returned to Montana in 2006, moving to a ranching community in Central Montana, with easy access to very dark skies. Over the years, Adams periodically tried to capture the elements of the night sky, from sitting on the roof of a neighbor’s row home in Camden, NJ to capture a lunar eclipse, to attempting her first star photography.  In 2022, seeking a creative release during an intense period of time at her day job, Adams sought formal training, studying under Kristine Richer with Kristine Rose Photography.

Adams’ faith is an integral part of her life and her art. Adams continues to work to perfect her craft and to share the wonders of the night sky with others, encouraging them to look up, and connect with the Creator through the wonders displayed in the night sky. Integrating her faith into her artistic offerings, Adams’ images can be purchased with and without scriptural overlays.
