Mimi Jensen Art

American

Mimi Jensen is a still-life painter who is inspired by her ideas and observations. Her education and early work experience were eclectic. She received a Bachelor of Arts in psychology; she is a Speech Therapist, Technical Editor and even an Airline Analyst to satisfy her desire to travel. 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. Jensen has exhibited widely in the U.S. and has been featured in numerous publications including American Art Collector, California Home+Design, Fine Art Today, Professional Artist, Southwest Art and The Artist’s 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. Although she has always lived in California, she has traveled widely prompted by her wanderlust and curiosity about other lands and cultures. The objects and ideas collected in these travels often appear in her work. More than 200 of Mimi Jensen’s works are in collections worldwide.

The Conversation II
Located in Greenwich, CT
Signed lower left Elizabeth Higgins (Canadian, b. 1960) Elizabeth Higgins describes herself as an abstract figurative and landscape painter. Everything around her serves as a potential subject, an inspiration to begin a painting. Fidelity to the landscape, the figure, or the still life is relative, as she isn’t interested in literal depictions; instead, it’s the abstract relationships of these shapes and colors, the abstract pictorial design that drives her work. Higgins’ paintings are rooted in the tradition stemming from Courbet, Derain, Bonnard, Matisse, Morandi, German Expressionism, and the Canadian Group of Seven (also known as the Algonquin School of landscape painters, 1920–1933). She is influenced by the work of her artist-teachers Paul Resika—himself a student of Hans Hofmann—and Robert De Niro, Sr. (1922-1993), as well as the paintings of contemporary artist Peter Doig. Her artistic evolution stretches across this continuum. It is the “in-between”, the hovering between representation and abstraction, that interests her, not the labeling effect of details; instead, she aims directly at the spirit of the painting—of making something come to life. John Goodrich wrote in her catalog essay, “Elizabeth Higgins’ direct brushwork and simplified forms suggest an energy, but crucially, reveal a painter who knows the power of color…” Elizabeth Higgins was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1960. As a Helena...

OUTLAWS / oil on canvas, red still life, political, recycle, think
By Mimi Jensen
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. He attributed the idea to a Roman notion that a structure must exhibit three qualities, being “solid, useful, and beautiful.” Great design (form) delights the senses, and I especially admire it in utilitarian objects. 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...
