James Jensen


Raised in Fort Collins, Colorado, Jensen's creativity originally expressed itself in quite a different vein, the piano. Jensen entered the University of Colorado with specific intent of becoming a concert pianist, always knowing his interests were in both music and art. While technically brilliant, Jensen's true dream of composing music eluded him Concert piano is very demanding and allows no time for even another hobby. I started to resent the demands musically and soon realized that I was the art that nagged at me. Now it all works fine. Playing piano is my amateur hobby, and I love it again And art is my profession also demanding and challenging, but I don't resent the art, I live for it. Sometimes I think I started taking art coursed so I compose a painting instead of music, says Jensen. When he realized his aptitude for painting and drawing, he began to spend increasing amounts of time in the studio instead of at the keyboard. His academic career began to falter and completion of his bachelor?s degree took six years, with the eventual degree coming form the Cooper Union in New York City.Eventually leaving Colorado, Jensen moved to New York to study art. As an art student in New York you get to take advantage of a wealth of art, artist, and schools to get all the information, inspiration and stimulation necessary. New York was a great experience for me because my instructors made me loosen my brain remembers Jensen. I painted and drew in a very structured manner and they wouldn't let me do it. They made me draw abstracts and free flowing lines. Now my brain thinks in a fairly loose vein even though my hand is mechanically more structured. When viewing Jensen's still life pastels, the influence of the Old World masters is unmistakable. But there is individuality in his work, a vibrancy that comes form the artist himself Now residing in California, Jensen spends a month each year in Italy, immersing himself not only in the art, but also in the food, music, and the Italian way of life. less
