Bev Jensen - Artist
Bev works intuitively and consistently, allowing her work to emerge from her daily practice of visual journaling, her love of family and strong connection with nature, animals, and passion for gardening. Her inspiration also comes from personal experiences as an emerging artist coping with isolation….confidence…focus….accommodating deadlines and most importantly her love of humour when the going gets tough. Her mixed media experimentation has included a series of artist books, printmaking, working with Perspex and more recently creating free standing 3 dimensional objects. This move to 3 dimensional works has sparked an interest in stage design. In 2007 Bev will design her first installation for theatre. Bev continues to develop her experimental approach to her work by regularly participating in many workshops by visiting national and internationally artists. Back to Top |

Bev Jensen is an Australian collage and mixed media artist.
Her images come from found objects, memorabilia, magazines and discarded books.
Her creative life began as a photographer and later a botanical designer. These
past experiences continue to influence her current art practice. After a
three-year mentoring period with an established Australian collage artist
Madonna Staunton and years of artist workshops she moved her art practice from
her home to a studio in Metro Arts, a funded arts organization in Brisbane.
During the last five years at Metro Arts Bev has instigated and set up a small
gallery space called ‘the cupboard’, encouraging collaboration, support and
opportunities for emerging visual artists of Metro Arts. She has curated several
group exhibitions at ‘the cupboard’.
