Jean was born and grew up on Anna Maria Island, Florida. She received a BA Degree from the University of Florida and an MFA from the University of Oregon where she was awarded a two year graduate teaching fellowship. She has completed a masters workshop at the Canadian School of Non-toxic Printmaking in Alberta. Jean is currently a painting instructor for the Ringing College of Art and Design in Sarasota and Wildacres, NC. She was certified by the University of Florida as a Master Gardener and Master Naturalist and served on Sarasota’s Environmentally Sensitive Lands Oversight Council. She now serves on the governing boards of Sea to Shore Alliance and the Friends of Myakka River State Park. Her early adult years were spent sailing and painting throughout the Caribbean, Bahamas and Central America.
