Jarid del Deo is a painter living and working in Maine. His oil paintings utilize the New England landscape as a tested vehicle for investigating color, shape, and composition. Del Deo prefers a long, contemplative study of his surroundings, plucking out details that best describe a place.

After graduating with his B.F.A. in painting and printmaking from the University of New Hampshire, del Deo spent over a decade working in the performing arts in the Pacific Northwest and Europe. In 2012 he settled in Maine and turned his focus back to painting. Del Deo exhibits regularly on both coasts and has work in private collections throughout the U.S. and Canada. In 2022, del Deo was named one of ten emerging artists to watch by Art New England.
