Biographical Information & Company ProfileChristie Jensen is a talented artist with over 23 years glass experience and 31 years of woodworking experience. Raised by artistic/business minded parents in New York and Northern New Jersey, art has been not only a love, but a life.
Skilled in many artistic mediums, they all become apparent in the finished creations.
A wood and metal class in high school started a journey the art teachers couldn’t have imagined.. Taking the visions from the canvas to 3D creations was just what was needed. Woodworking, antique restoration, artistic finishing and painting took the place of a hectic corporate life. Custom exhibit work was the next adventure, which included lobby exhibits for large companies like IBM, MCI and the Chaco Canyon Visitors Center in New Mexico for the National Park Service. Custom cabinetry, furniture design and creation, and exotic custom finishing lead right back to the love of working with color and light. And what a better way to enhance the expression of a lifetime of art than with stained glass.
Growing up in the mountains of New Jersey, although not far from her birthplace of New York City, in September of 2004 the Black Hills of South Dakota seem to tap into the heart of this artist, acting like a magnetic home where inspiration and creation can flourish and grow. This journey will continue to expand. Donating etched glassware, gift items, windows, time and labor to the Spirit of the Hills Wildlife Sanctuary to help raise funds to care for the many rescued animals who reside there. Becoming a member/treasurer of the Black Hills chapter of the South Dakota Woodworkers Guild, at the Black Hills School of Woodworking and donating time and experience with other guild members to build flag cases for fallen veterans.
