About Jean...
I have
always been an artist.
Whether ensconced in duties of employment or in more mundane
activities of daily life, I attempt to apply my sense of artistry.
Others have professed that art is their passion.
So it is with me.
The urge to create pushes me forward, calls to me at even the most
inopportune of moments, and brings joy to my soul when I follow its
calling.
I
am currently involved with many creative endeavors, including
painting, photography, writing, jewelry-design, and gardening.
Please enjoy exploring my website and visit it often as I add
more images and keep you updated on my writing as well as events.
I
was employed for 30 years by Denver Public Schools, first as a third
grade teacher, then as program manager for the elementary gifted and
talented programs for the District.
I expressed my creativity in everything from my teaching
materials and classroom bulletin boards to inservice handouts.
I
retired from my career in education to pursue my passion for
creativity in general and photography in particular.
I was owner and principal artist of PHOTOGRAPHERS’ GALLERY
for nine years. As
assistant manager of Ten Thousand Villages, Denver from
1997 until 2007 I was involved
with selling handcrafted items created by third world artisans.
