I'm a surface pattern designer, illustrator, and watercolorist playing and working in the U.S. mountain west. Gardening zone 7! I've worked as a graphic designer, illustrator, technical communicator, and some other careers that were either brief and rewarding or too long and unsatisfying.

My watercolors have been featured in galleries in several cities. I started painting when I was in my late teens, sitting next to my mom in our dining room/art studio, while she painted in oils.

Gardening is a passion—it’s where I gain my inspiration for my surface pattern designs. My garden is evolving; much like my art.

I started designing patterns after I retired and I continue to perfect my skills in that area. I hand drawn my motifs and also create my own Illustrator brushes that I use in my artwork.

At JeanC Studio, I'm committed to promoting sustainability through my selection of eco-friendly products. My mission is to provide stylish and functional items that not only enhance your lifestyle but also lessen the impact on our environment. My product range includes cotton/hemp market totes, cotton-linen blend pillow covers and recycled paper notebooks, each designed with the dual expressing my creativity and supporting a greener future.

Research indicates that the use of sustainable materials can reduce environmental impact by up to 50%. By choosing my products, you're making a decision that aligns with your values of sustainability and creativity. 

My commitment to eco-friendliness extends beyond my products; I support initiatives that lean to environmental conservation. I also strive to educate my customers about the importance of sustainability and the impact of their choices.
