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.
