Adele Shtern was born in Montreal and received her BA in Design from Concordia University. She was awarded a Design Canada grant to study Graphic Design in the MFA program at Yale University.

Shtern is considered a pioneer in computer art. Her involvement with digital art began in 1983 at the New York Institute of Technology on a University of Bridgeport grant. Committed to the process of art as a form of healing, Shtern conceived Lotus Cusp, a multimedia presentation re 9.11 with her BMCC/CUNY students. Several of her images are now on the 9.11 online Memorial Artists’ Registry. Her work has been exhibited extensively in solo and group shows in the US, Canada, Europe and Japan. It has been published internationally and has received many awards.
Adele Shtern embraces her calling as a multi-disciplinary artist using traditional and digital media. She takes pleasure in discovering visually interesting sights in diverse loci. Her creative process involves opening herself to the revelation of seeing the familiar in new ways. Painterly and abstract aspects of the environment catch her eye.
Shtern’s digital photos are part of an ongoing series of photographic explorations. Some of the sites have since been transformed or no longer exist. This record preserves the memory of what once existed, as a visual and cultural archive.
Types of work include: photographs, photomontages, journals of drawings, digital montage, gouache paintings, handmade paper, poetry and music.
