Paintings

Art has been a life-long passion for Jean who sold drawings when in high school.

She studied at Sunderland College of Art in her native England.   Then she was an art major at RPI.   Marriage and three children delayed college graduation for 20 years. To make up for lost time, Jean earned a BA in Fine Arts (Painting) and an MEd (French) at W&M.

Since then she has painted regularly, first using oils and watercolors but now acrylic paints. For more than 3 decades she has painted with a group of local artists once led by renowned artist Barclay Sheaks and currently led by Ann Armstrong.

With fresh colors and pleasing compositions, Jean strives to evoke feelings of serenity in the beauty of everyday objects or scenes.

Her works (landscapes, still lifes and figures) have been exhibited in various venues including This Century Art Gallery (4 juried show awards), New Town Art Gallery, Williamsburg Sentara Regional Medical Center, Wmsbg. Landing, Wmsbg. Regional Library, The Trellis Restaurant, Prince George Art & Frame, and James City Co. Gov. Offices.

Her paintings are in the collections of art enthusiasts in several states as well as  in England and France.
