Working in assemblage, mixed media, and collage, Jean Blackwell Font uses everyday images and objects to explore complex themes and emotions, delving deep into the human psyche to reveal the unexplored nuances of the human condition. Influenced by artists Betty Saar, Doris Salcedo, Mimmo Rotella, Julie Mehretu, and Mark Bradford, Jean is constantly developing her visual vocabulary to express her bold ideas and concepts. By telling the stories of everyday people in a way that is both universal and deeply personal, she is creating a timeless body of work that will continue to resonate with viewers for years to come.

Jean holds a Bachelors degree in Art History from Florida International University, where she was invited to join Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest and most selective liberal arts honor society. Her artwork has garnered the attention of important collectors in Miami and is part of Florida International University Special Collections.
