Jean Edelbluth (b. 1986) lives with his family in Bouxwiller, a small town near Strasbourg in eastern France. He studied design at the Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts, then trained as a shoemaker in an Alsace factory, a trade he practiced for nine years. He later joined a small non-profit publishing house, where he develops greeting card and book offerings. Working within publishing has given Edelbluth a steady, independent creative rhythm, which he extends through painting, where he continues to explore a long-standing fascination with color. He is also a father of five.
