She studied at Brooklyn College and then studied art under the painter and stage designer Mol Solotaroff in New York City. Her first exhibition was at the Jimmy Ernst's Norlyst Gallery in Manhattan in 1946. The following year she married artist and designer Edward Ryden and they moved to Colorado. In 1949, the couple relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area where Edward worked on his degree and Jean studied lithography at the California College of Arts and Crafts. They lived in San Francisco but built a second home on Sonoma Mountain in Sonoma County, California. She held her first solo exhibition at the Legion of Honor in 1959. Later solo exhibitions were held at the Lucien Labaudt Gallery and the Rotunda Gallery in the City of Paris in San Francisco; Galerie Mirage, Montpellier, France; ACCI Gallery in Berkeley; Hansen Fuller Gallery in San Francisco; Monterey Peninsula Museum of Art; Western Galilee College, Israel; and the Unitarian Universalist Church in San Francisco. She was a member of and exhibited with the San Francisco Art Association, San Francisco Women Artists, and the California Watercolor Society.
