Cade Jarvis (b. 1998) is a Portland, Maine-based artist whose work draws inspiration from the dynamic interplay between the natural and the human-made. A graduate of the Maine College of Art and Design (BFA, 2020), Jarvis creates paintings that reflect a deep reverence for the beauty of everyday encounters—often transforming overlooked elements of modern infrastructure into moments of quiet transcendence. His work has been exhibited throughout Maine, across New England, and in various venues across the United States, contributing to a growing recognition of his unique visual language.

Rooted in his experiences growing up and living in Maine—a place he describes as both grounding and inspiring—Jarvis’ practice is equally shaped by his travels across states and countries. These journeys have informed a nuanced perspective on the visual and emotional intersections of built and natural environments. Whether capturing the poetic silhouette of power lines at golden hour or evoking the emotional depth of a fleeting sunset, his paintings invite viewers to pause, look again, and reconsider the overlooked. As Jarvis explains, “Ultimately I want these paintings to remind viewers, and myself, that there is more to see everywhere we go and no matter where we go. A camera can’t always capture the very essence of your feelings as you stand there and enjoy the view.”
