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.

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

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...
