THE STORY OF AN ACTRESS, PERFORMER
AND CREATIVE ARTIST
Jean joined the circus at the age of 14 and so began her theatrical career. From this modest beginning, by the 1950s Jean had established herself as an entertainer, touring virtually all of the provincial variety theatres in the UK including the London variety circuit -
"I feel my work is more about painting than flowers. the subject matter is just a means to explore the skill of tonal values, composition and the drawn line. I have moved through various phases in my development from minimalist poppy images to more complex structured paintings, exploring a deeper resonance of colour.
My latest works are the result of this thinking. I have taken the abstract form to a larger scale, intensified the colours by adding a resin finish, thus improving the 'movement' within the work. Where I am now is proving the most exciting of all my careers." J Picton
