Jean Shon

Jean Shon is a visual artist and educator working at the intersection of images, text, installation, and photography. Her practice lingers between the thresholds of legibility & illegibility, rupture & relation, and fact & fiction to sustain connection through loss.

She has been awarded residencies at Ragdale, Hambidge, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Lighthouse Works, James Castle House, and Galveston Artist Residency among others. Shon earned her Master of Fine Arts from the University of California-Irvine, a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and is currently an Assistant Professor at Florida State University.
