About Jacobina
Born on a small island (Zuid-Beveland) in the South of the Netherlands, Jacobina Oele developed an artist's eye in her childhood. Surrounded by flat lands and low skies she was influenced the subtle light that made painters before her famous. At eighteen she studies for five years at the prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague, Holland. After getting a Bachelor's Degree she became a teacher at the same institution. Her professional path after that went from stage set designer through photographer, art director to decorative painter.
At the age of 37 she decided to focus on becoming a professional painter. She moved away from her home country the Netherlands to live in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, West Indies. The demand for various decorative projects was high as she moved from island to island, surviving the harsh reality of the Tropics. A year after she met her husband on the Island of Canouan, the couple moved to Miami where she successfully developed her company Oele ltd.

She specialized in wall finishes with the use of pigments and also painting murals. At the same time she started her ongoing series of oil paintings with tropical scenes.
In 2006, Jacobina proudly became a U.S. citizen and now calls Indianapolis home. Each of Jacobina's paintings has a spirit of life that she can only achieve by painting from pencil sketches of real-life scenes and subjects. While sometimes embellished or enhanced by fantasy, Jacobina's work is anything but abstract. Her vivid paintings, ranging in size from small canvases to full-scale murals, tell stories of her travels and adventures, encounters and dreams and most of all her new life in Indianapolis.
