As a sculptor and a painter, Jean Blackburn addresses the domestic setting and its power to shape or reflect our understanding of the world. She has exhibited her work throughout the US and abroad, including the DeCordova Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Aldrich Museum, the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, the Neuberger Museum, and the Ierimoti Gallery in Milan. Her work is in collections of the Mint Museum, the RISD Museum, the Tang Museum and many private collections. Her recent solo exhibitions have been at the Pierogi Gallery in New York in Jan.-Feb. of 2018 and at the Rafius Fane Gallery in Boston in March 2017. Jean has been teaching at RISD since 1982. In 2014 she was awarded the RISD’s John R. Frazier Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Blackburn has a strong interest in ancient civilizations and our processes of interpreting them. She has worked as an archaeological illustrator on excavations in New England, New Mexico, Petra, Jordan and most recently in Tuscany on an 6th century B.C.E. Etruscan dig.
