Jean Millington is a self-taught artist who has spent a lifetime painting and drawing. Like many, her journey began in childhood, sketching favourite cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, and the full Looney Tunes cast. Their vibrant colours continue to influence her bold, expressive style today.

While painting is often a solitary practice, Jean found community and confidence through local art societies and urban sketching groups. Sharing her work helped her overcome self-doubt and build connections with other artists—offering both encouragement and practical tips.

Over the years, Jean has explored many mediums. Today, she primarily works in acrylics and water-mixable oils. These materials suit her growing preference for a more abstract, colour-driven style.
