About the Artist
Artist Bio
Mosaic artist Kim Jensen creates one of kind mosaics that embody color, texture, handmade porcelain tiles and contain found objects. She strives to create art that is approachable and unpretentious that people from all walks of life can connect to. As a professional artist and high school art teacher, she strongly believes in the power of artistic expression to transform individuals and communities.
She first began working in the medium when she was just 17 after being inspired by a book on mosaics. Soon after, she began teaching herself how to make mosaics through trial and error in her bedroom. The fascination and obsession with mosaics continued in her higher education. She earned a BA from San Francisco State University with an emphasis in sculpture where she also received her teaching credential. In the summer 2015 she had the honor to study in the birth place of mosaics Ravenna, Italy at The Mosaic Art School to further deepen her understanding of ancient mosaic techniques.
