Artist Statement

Jean retired as a librarian and library manager in 2009 and relocated from the Virginia and Washington, D.C. area to Sussex County Delaware.  Jean was drawn to Delaware by the small town atmosphere and the natural beauty found in the  ocean, the countryside, and the woods.  Many of her paintings depict the beauty found in local scenes.


Jean is continuing her art studies begun in the early 1980s when she was a BFA student.  Since retiring Jean has renewed her interest in art and has begun to practice and study extensively. 


Jean is a member of the Rehoboth Art League, Cape Artists of Lewes, the Mispillion Art League, the Milton Art Guild, the Worcester County Council for the Arts, and Delaware By Hand.  Jean exhibits her work regularly. Her painting of the Blue Ridge Mountains will be on exhibit this spring at the Biggs Museum of American Art.
