Biography
[edit]Jean started drawing at an early age. When she was nine years old, she drew rural scenes on clothes for her mother to embroider.[1] In her early teenage years, she moved to Port-au-Prince near noted artist Pétion Savain. In 1968, a year after the move, she began to paint with Savain until he died in 1973.[2] She has been working with the painter Jean Richard Coachy since the passing of Savain.[1]
Jean depicts only children, and does not paint adults. When questioned about the reasoning behind her subject matter choice, she states, "children are my source of inspiration."[3] One of her paintings was purchased to represent "The International Year of Children" by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Germany.[4]
She currently lives in Pétion-Ville.
