Jean Brown was a member of P.A.S.O.V.A.S., the Pioneer Art Students of Vancouver Art School, an artist's group formed in 1930 from the students who entered the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts in its first year and a half of classes in 1925 and 1926.

Jean Brown started classes at the VSDAA in 1925, while living at 1180 15th Avenue in Vancouver. She graduated from first and second year classes at the school. She later exhibited in the PASOVAS group exhibitions in 1930, 1932 and 1934 (possibly additional shows). She did not graduate from the art school.

She submitted artwork to the 4th Annual B.C. Artists' exhibition.
