For 24 years Jean worked in the Creative Department of Antioch
Publishing Company, the last 12 as the Creative Director. Now retired,
and her two sons nearly grown and on their own, Jean is able to join her
artist husband Lance in the pursuit of her personal artwork out of
their home studio in Yellow Springs. Her formal art career began at the
Columbus College of Art and Design, where a BFA degree, and LOTS of
knowledge and training was obtained. Moving on to the University of
Cincinnati for an MFA in drawing, Jean created mounds of drawings and prints,
exhibiting mostly in the Columbus, Chicago, and Cincinnati areas in

various individual, group, and invitational shows. Locally she once had a

solo show at the former Center Stage gallery.
