Jean began the Pet Portrait Diploma course whilst working overseas in Brunei and then Turkey. She sent pictures of wild animals as well as pet portraits. In her work she enjoyed using pencil, coloured pencil and watercolours.
Samples of course work were made into a portfolio, this was submitted in 2008 to Hull University to enable her to gain entry onto a BA (Hons) Fine Arts degree as a mature student.
Jean enjoyed the course immensely. She has also shown her pictures locally which has resulted in commissions for pet portraits. Some of her pictures are reproduced here.
