Diane McManus Jensen, director of Jensen Fine Arts, offers an accessible approach and a realistic view into forming a collection, while attempting to demystify the process. She unveils the passion behind the pursuit of art. Diane believes that collecting reveals much about the character of the owner, and brings a sense of originality to any living space. It is fascinating and challenging to discover what sparks an individual's interest, and propels them down the path toward a certain type of collection.

She desires to explore what inspires clients' avocation on whatever scale suits their objective.

 

Diane continues to interview collectors and lectures nationwide. She offers tips & insights on subjects related to art collecting, with practical advice that is invaluable to connoisseurs and those beginning to collect.
