Tribute to
the Gifted Nature Photographer Bryan Jensen
I was introduced into the world of art, when I lived in
Greenwich Village, New York. My father, a physician, had many close personal
friends who were talented artists. He commissioned Franz Kline, who was
first a contemporary artist to paint portraits of me, my brother, and my
mother. He welcomed our family into his gifted artistic community to meet
his close friends like Jackson Pollock, who joined together to develop
abstract impressionistic art.
Inspired by this magnificent introduction
into the field of art, I have spent many years of my life searching for
other great artists. While I was a Distinguished Professor of Plastic
Surgery, Biomedical Engineering, and Emergency Medicine at the University of
Virginia Health System in Charlottesville, Virginia, Mark Collins introduced
me into the field of photorealistic art. His transparent watercolors are
widely recognized for the abundance of detail, dramatic lighting, palpable
texture and luminous color. Two of his original paintings and many of his
prints enhance the inner beauty of my home.
When I became Director of Trauma
Prevention, Research and Education at Trauma Specialists LLP at Legacy
Emanuel Hospital, Portland, Oregon, I was awakened by a new scope in art,
created by the gifted Nature Photographer, Bryan Jensen who has brought new
dimensions to the magnificent field of nature photography. As a resident of
Portland, Oregon, he has captured inspiring scenes of the Pacific Northwest
in his inspirational photographs that now hang on my wall. As a master of
modern photographic technology, he has made memorable pictures of the
landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. One of my favorite pictures done by
this skilled artist is his picture of Multnomah Falls as well as that of
Mount Hood. His pictures have become a wonderful way for me to buy gifts of
his photographs that become a lasting gesture of gratitude and appreciation
to my gifted family, colleagues and friends in the Pacific Northwest as well
as throughout the world.
For those like me that have become addicted
to the photographic masterpieces of Bryan Jensen, I have an important
reminder for each of you. You need to select a design consultant and picture
framer whose unique talents will complement the work of this extraordinary
photographer. Consequently, I rely heavily on the talents of Karen Armstrong
(Beard Framing 7720 Northeast Highway 99, Vancouver, WA 98665) as well as
Neil Edwards (Beard Framing 11413 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Highway, Beaverton,
Oregon 97005). While you can get Bryan Jensen's beautiful photographs from
his website, I would encourage you to make an appointment with these gifted
framers to be sure that the frame compliments Bryan Jensen's photographic
excellence.
