Jean Chambers began her fine art career by painting during off-hours while running her own business in the architectural field.  Her earliest study took place in museums and art galleries where she developed a keen sense of the techniques the artists used to build the work.  She has attended various workshops and enjoys the interaction with other artists, and finds school-like environment stimulating.  Her basic premise is, however, hard work in front of her easel. 

When a plateau is reached, Chambers has kept her painting progressing by self-imposed isolation where production is set aside to allow time for experimentation and growth.

Throughout her continuing studies she remains faithful to her own art and has developed a style that is uniquely her own; art that is timeless, yet timely.  Her limited palette, skill-based experience, expert paint manipulation and meticulous attention to accuracy, create an inner luminosity and surface tension on her canvas that is the trademark of a Chambers’ painting.  Her work has earned many awards, including Signature Membership in Oil Painters of America, and is highly sought by collectors in this country and abroad. 

Chambers studio is at her home, Y Lightning Ranch near Hereford, Arizona where she has become actively involved in instructing aspiring artists.  In 2001 after moving here from Alabama, she began a weekly drawing and painting group to bring art to the community, this has become a very important part of the local art scene.  She teaches semi-annual workshops at Scottsdale Artists’ School and annually at Fredericksburg Art School.
