Diana Jensen was born in Frankfurt, Germany and raised in Baton Rouge, LA.

After studying with Ed Paschke at Northwestern U, she moved to Brooklyn where she is now based.

As a child she prowled though the thrift stores, flea markets and junk yards of southern Louisiana, with her dad (a collector of unusual castoffs) looking for interesting items, ephemera and relics of the past.
 
Currently she makes painting installations that reference found photographs from the 1970s and ‘80s.

Jensen recently exhibited her paintings in Havana, Cuba at the 
Galleria Belykis Ayon en el Centro de Artes Experimentales.

Jensen’s paintings have been exhibited widely including such venues as:
Temporare Kunsthalle Friedrichshain, Berlin; Heskin Contemporary, NYC; Korjaamo Galleria, Helsinki, Finland; SafeTGallery, Brooklyn; White Columns, NYC; Bucheon Gallery, San Francisco; Artemisia Gallery, Chicago; The Newark Museum and The Islip Art Museum.
