Eventually, Jensen returned to graduate school to follow her dream of studying art. While still a graduate student in drawing and painting she was selected for her first commercial gallery show, which led to subsequent exhibitions and launched her professional career as a painter. “Using bold colors to depict theatrically lit objects, her paintings invite speculation into the possible metaphors." – California Home+Design magazine.

For the past 20 years, she has been represented by galleries in San Francisco, Boston, Santa Fe and other cities. Jensen is a California native.

OUTLAWS / oil on canvas, red still life, political, recycle, think

Located in Burlingame, CA
Regarding “Outlaws” “Form Follows Function”. The architect Louis Sullivan coined this famous phrase to declare that the form of an object should reflect its purpose.

Inspired by their beautiful designs, I’ve gathered a grouping of such objects that have been outlawed, banned, or shunned – the perfect but lowly incandescent lightbulb, a candy-striped plastic straw, an aerosol spray can, a Cuban cigar box...
