Jean Newburg is a sculptor and painter who worked for decades as founding CEO of Weston United, a nonprofit organization providing housing and services for homeless individuals with mental illness and other behavioral disorders.
Jean has been studying and making art since the 1970s concurrently with pursuing a career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In 1985, she became the founding CEO of Weston United, where she was able to bring her creativity to the workplace by developing three innovative employment programs - Urban Gardens, Visionary Bookstore and Gallery M.
After retiring in 2016, Jean began painting and sculpting full-time. She is currently studying sculpture with Rhoda Sherbell at the Art Students League of New York (she previously studied at the National Academy Museum & School). She is also studying watercolor at the Woodstock School of Art, and, in 2017, started experimenting with abstraction and pastel landscapes. She is inspired by the natural beauty of Woodstock, NY, where she has owned a home for 25 years, and also by the cultural vibrancy of her native New York City, where she maintains an apartment.
Jean has exhibited in galleries in New York City and the Hudson Valley region of New York. She is a member of the National Association of Women Artists.
