WHEATLAND – It’s called a silent art.

Unlike a musician, there are no lyrics or music. Unlike an actor, the voice is silent. Unlike a dancer, there is no movement, and yet his art moves us all.

Wheatland artist Carl Jensen paints and he sculpts and he causes people to marvel; those who have had a chance to see the creations that are born in his thought patterns and magically come from his fingertips.

Some may say he has the ability to capture time gone by.

Whether that time is a moment in the flame of a campfire or the salute of a Marine to a fallen comrade where no words are spoken, those moments speak volumes.

“To portray the people and animals used throughout my lifetime,” Jensen writes as he explains his life’s objective. “In my art I wish to create a sculpture or painting inspired by memory or an artistic inspiration.”

Born in Lewistown, Montana halfway between Billings and Canada in a town that has been dubbed one of the happiest towns in America. Being creative you may be able to catch glimpses of the genius that began to grow out from him even as a young boy.
