Jean paints figurative oil paintings, and is inspired by The Glasgow Boys and the Old Masters, especially Valesquez and Rembrandt.  Originally from Scotland, Jean moved to England in her youth and has lived most of her life in Somerset. Art has always been part of her life and she initially studied graphic design. However, life took a different path and Jean decided to pursue a career in business management.

Having painted since she was young, Jean changed focus and completed a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design with Distinction in 2012 and her work was chosen to form part of the Strode College Collection.  Initially, Jean pursued a very successful printmaking practice, however the lure of Plein air painting saw a change to painting in 2017.  She has developed a practice focusing on still life and plein air, with a particular interest in the landscapes.

Jean aims to capture a delicacy in her paintings through close observation.  She enjoys painting iridescent ceramics which reflect the light and colours of the room.  Her paintings often evoke space and a softness that creates a sense of calm.

Many of the works on this site are for sale and Jean also undertakes commissions. Please get in touch for further details. Her works are in private collections in Europe and the U.S.A.

Previously Jean was the Chairperson and member of Artists 303, which is a professional West Country art community which was established in 1965.  She is now an active member of Bruton Art Society involved in the running of the Society as a Committee member and Secretary.

Jean is a partner with Rosemary & Co, a British company, who make exceptional artist brushes by hand for the past 39 years.
