During that time, Jean illustrated over 400 magazine covers, worked with National Geographic on a hard covered book called "The Incredible Machine", and helped produce many advertising campaigns for the pharmaceutical industry, some of which have won international awards. During this time, she also studied portraiture with John Howard Sanden at the Portrait Institute in New York City and classical realism in Florence Italy with Maestro Michael John Angel who was a student of Pietro Annigoni. In 1988, she received her first commission to paint a portrait and a successful career as a portrait artist was launched.
