She is familiar with “feet movement” from her years ofskateboarding, biking, skiing, playing baseball and soccer. Her kinesthetic interests left hercurious about how her mind and body bring paint and sport together and call it fine art. Incollege, where she created large futuristic bike racers for her senior thesis, she began todiscover her visual voice in paint.“Speed pushes me to the brink while using my rollerbladesto play with colors”Jean’s large-scale rollerblade paintings, first executed in 2008, as well as smaller-scale“wheel work,” all go beyond the brush.
