Arizona artist Dinah
Jasensky is known for her western figurative paintings. Her
subjects range from old west saloon scenes to Native
American children. “I paint what evokes an emotional
connection,“ she says, “ whether it be humor in an old time
gambling scene or the longing on a young ranch girl’s
face.” Jasensky’s paintings often reflect a unique view of
the old west, which is different than the typical cowboy
scene.
Dinah
Jasensky is an artist who has been drawing and painting
since childhood. By the age of 12, she was studying oil
painting with a professional artist in her home town. Also a
horse enthusiast, she sold horse portraits to her fellow
equestrians. She continued to study art while obtaining
both a
Bachelor
and Masters
degree of Science. She
became a biological illustrator,
producing works for teaching and research materials, leading
to an initial
career in environmental science.
Today,
Jasensky is a full time, professional artist living in
Tucson, Arizona. She is a member of Oil Painters of America,
the Portrait Society of America, Tucson Plein Air Painters’
Society, and
Friends of Western Art. She has been a participant in
several juried shows, including the Greenhouse Gallery
International Salon, the Empire 100 Western Art, and the
Mountain Oyster Club Western Art shows, among others.
Jasensky is currently represented by Galleries West of
Jackson, Wyoming, Sanders Gallery and Craig Fine Arts of
