Jean is very involved in working with polymer clay. She creates lovely beads and jewelry and is always experimenting with new techniques and ideas. She has even found a way to transfer copies of her paintings to the clay. Jean's love of jewelry making began years ago when she bought glass bead necklaces at garage sales and used the beads in other projects. She feels her interest in polymer clay has evolved because she likes intricate things. She enjoys making miniature versions of what others might see as everyday items. Her artist's eye sees beauty in many things.

Jean illustrated a book called Got Shade? A "Take it Easy" Approach for Today's Gardener. Carolyn Harstad wrote and photographed the book. The pen and ink pointillism illustrations were tedious and Jean feels that any illustrations she might do in the future would be better handled as a water color wash. Jean enjoys gardening and this was a perfect outlet for her talent. Jean has also done nature photography.
