In a place like this Painting

A native of Bergen, Norway, Anne Jensen's formative years were spent in this and other Norwegian cities. She moved to Houston, Tx in 2006. After her first career as a kindergarten teacher, Jensen tried her hand at knitting and weaving. She quickly excelled in these, and began teaching others how to weave. Jensen then entered the world of drawing and painting. Encouraged by a mentor to further develop her talent, she studied under an artist in Bergen before enrolling in private art school for three years-and traded the loom for the easel Jensen has been painting prolifically since then, with the properties of color and light as her primary inspiration and the dominant influence in her works. She has exhibited in a number of venues around Houston and she maintains her permanent studio at Springstreetstudios in Houston.
