Jean McGuire returned to painting a few years ago after a 40-year hiatus. Happily, even though she wasn’t actively working on her art, her ability to view the world in colors and shapes never went away. She was able to take those observations and transfer them to her canvas while maintaining the curiosity and wonder of a newcomer.

Jean has had no formal art training, but has been fortunate to work with many talented Kansas City artists who have helped shape her vision and her work. She has exhibited throughout the Kansas City area and has been included in two International exhibits.
