Her beautiful artwork spanned many Mediums, including Oils, Watercolors, Pastels, etc., as well as ceramics and sculpture. She won several art show awards. More than 75 of her sought-after originals hang in private collections.

Professionally she worked in the Art Dept. of Sikorsky Aircraft, at a Fairfield County Advertising Agency, and was employed as an Elementary Art teacher. In her later years, Jean became a caregiver to many families.
