Raritan native, Jean Balogh joined
the Raritan Valley Arts Association
in the 1960’s. Soon after joining,
she won her first of many Best in
Show Awards. Her first, being an
oil portrait of her son Nickie. Jean’s
professional art career has spanned
over 50 years, becoming a member
of the American Artist Professional
League, winning top honours for
decades for her oil paintings, and
pastels portraits. Among many dig-
nitaries, Jean was commissioned to
sketch the portrait of former New
Jersey governor William Cahill, as
well as an oil painting of Bishop
McCarrick, and an oil portrait of
Pope John Paul II. Primarily self
taught, Jean excelled in every
aspect of art, many of her paint-
ings can be seen all over the world,
including Italy, Korea ,Hungary and
Isreal. Jean is an honorary member
of the American Artist Professional
League, in NYC. One of her oil
paintings, entitled “Open Barn
Door,” was purchased by the pres-
ident of the Business Committee
for the Arts in the United Nations
Building in New York. Though her
first love is portraiture, she has the
ability to paint with a wide diversi-
ty of subject content.
Jean is also a accomplished musi-
cian, and is equally known for her
musical talent. When she is not
painting, she loves to cook, enjoys
entertaining, and spending time
with her Grandchildren.
