Darryl Jensen is a visual artist who uses both traditional and digital printmaking processes as a starting point for sculptural and installation oriented art. Incorporating appropriated and digitally manipulated images from black and white B-grade Film Noir and horror movies, Darryl uses multiple images to suggest narratives of tension and trauma in interpersonal relationships.

Exhibited regionally and nationally, Darryl has recently received a grant from the Mary L. Nohl Suitcase Export Fund and the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. Darryl holds a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Fine Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has previously worked as a professional printer at Landfall Press where he printed an edition of 200 books containing 20 multiple-color etchings by Ed Paschke.

As an instructor for fifteen years, Darryl has taught various levels of printmaking processes and figure drawing at the Evanston Art Center, Barat College and the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. Currently Darryl teaches Basic and Observational Drawing classes for the Foundations Division at MIAD while also working as the Fine Arts Division Printmaking Department Lab Technician. Darryl is also the Vice President on the all-volunteer board of the Riverwest Artists Association and a member of the "Born Losers" Art Cart Race Team.
