Jeane Duffey had Canadian and British citizenship. She was born and trained in England. Her family tree contained so many different nationalities that she felt very much at home amongst the diverse peoples of Canada. 

 

Many of her works are included in private and corporate collections around the world. People particularly like to take them as reminders of their time in the west of Canada. She was President of the Federation of Canadian Artists for 1992 - 1994.
