Jean has been a member of the ASV for many years, was a very talented artist and sculptor and contributed a great deal to us over a long period of time. She started a group called the “Eclectics” by inviting a group of like minded artists to join. Originally we met at the Hawthorn Artist’s studios each Monday morning where we painted from models or sculpted. This was a very productive period of our lives and we were able to interact and inspire each other.Jean was a catalyst for this and we thank her for her interest and guidance.
Jean had many interests, firstly came her family, she was a devoted mother and ended as a single mother bringing up her three boys on her own. Unfortunately two of them predeceased her. She was a keen gardener and loved her dogs.

She died with great dignity after a year of illness, She will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
