Jennifer Hansen

Visual Art – San Francisco

Born in San Francisco, California, Jennifer Hansen studied at the Academy of Art and received her BFA of Fine Art in 2012. She had shown with the Napa Art Museum, 111 Minna Gallery, and many others throughout San Francisco. She has been featured on Juxtapoz and Gallery Nucleus. Jennifer also has a permanent installation featured in Hotel Zetta, San Francisco. Isolation, and destruction are reoccurring themes prevalent throughout her dark art to show the effects and consequences of sin. Jennifer battled through depression, anger, and suicidal thoughts. Those experiences are commonly incorporated in her work by a disconnected figure in a large cityscape, as well as weeping or screaming individuals. The paintings are done with graphite, charcoal, and many translucent layers of oil. They express human depravity, destructive desire, and suffering in an urban desolate environment, all of which point of the need of the Savior.
