About the Item

'Insalata' featuring tomatoes on a kitchen counter with olive oil in glass bottles, salt and a chalk board by artist Mimi Jensen, who uses bold colors to depict theatrically lit objects. "Her paintings invite speculation into possible metaphors" – California Home+Design magazine. The painting is professionally framed in a contemporary silver floater frame with outer dimensions of 17 x 21 inches. Artist's background on the painting, “Painters in Paris”. This is part of my ongoing series of paintings “A Week at the Met,” inspired by an entire week my husband and I spent almost ten years ago at the Metropolitan Museum in NY. Each day, all day, I luxuriated in spending my time primarily with the paintings while he spent his time with the antiquities. My “Week at the Met” was featured in an article in The Artist’s Magazine, April 2013 issue. Mimi Jensen is a Still Life painter who is inspired by her ideas and observations. Jensen’s education and early work experience were eclectic – Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Speech Therapist, Technical Editor, and even an Airline Analyst to satisfy her desire to travel. Eventually she 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. She has exhibited widely in the U.S., has been featured in numerous publications – American Art Collector, California Home+Design, Fine Art Today, Professional Artist, Southwest Art, The Artist’s Magazine – and for the past 20 years she has been represented by galleries in San Francisco, Boston, Santa Fe, and other cities. Mimi 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.
