About the Item

Artist Comments
A crocus plant blooms in brown soil, its vibrant purple petals contrasting against the earth. Artist Jay Jensen shares that seeing these fragile flowers stirs his heart with the promise of a fresh start. He sees a deeper meaning in their sudden emergence from the dullness of winter.


About the Artist
Artist Jay Jensen balances realism and imagination in his atmospheric paintings. He has loved drawing since childhood, sketching fish, sharks, and whales on cardboard sheets from his father’s laundered shirts. After studying printmaking in graduate school, Jay stepped away from painting for over two decades to focus on family and work. Now in catch-up mode, he is deeply committed to making each piece as exceptional as possible. “I want to make images that are interesting to look at, both up close and from a distance,” says Jay. He paints in his ninth-floor apartment in Montreal, enjoying the unobstructed views of the skyline and cargo boats on the St. Lawrence Seaway. When not painting, he plays guitar, cycles, and works full-time.
