Her interest in art was inspired by a history lesson which featured Michelangelo when she was nine years old. Three of Adele's relatives, her grandfather and two aunts, were artists. This helped in giving her incentive to study and enhance her abilities in the field.

Adele and her husband, Doug, have traveled across nearly all of the Continental U.S. states, photographed landscapes and ruins, and visited with people from all walks of life. Many of Adele's paintings are based on these experiences. All originals are "one of a kind" pieces and a lot of them are painted from photographs of actual places and other inspiring objects.
