Now a member of the High Desert Art League, Jean is also a juried member of the American Academy of Equine Art and the Salmagundi Club in NYC.

“And for me, it’s especially so gratifying when the viewer feels an emotional connection to my painting, and it’s this communication that’s so meaningful.”
