ABOUT JENS: Jens grew up in Sweden surrounded by the most beautiful landscapes in the world, as well as cities with amazing architecture. His father was a painter and an architect, and he was raised to respect and appreciate the beauty around me. Jens came to Rhode Island as a young adult and was drawn to the enchanting coastlines, forests, and mountains in New England.
Jens uses his art to capture his memories of Scandinavia as well as all that what he has experienced, and continues to experience, throughout New England. To him it is a privilege to be an artist, and he strive to use color, texture, and shadows to express his love of and enchantment with the natural world.
