Jean Wells

            Jean Wells is a sculptor who is known for her mosaic-covered sculptures of food. Her artwork touches on topics of consumerism and pop culture with a style similar to Pop Artists like Andy Warhol. These sculptures are made of glass she cuts and colors herself. She does most of this by herself without the help of a studio assistant. Much of her artwork is sparked by her childhood. She was born into a family of artists and is very familiar with ancient Byzantine mosaics and the technique of creating a fresco. She attended the University of Washington with a Bachelors in Fine Art.
