Thin Places
Hannah Jensen
January 9 - February 27, 2026
Opening Reception: January 9, 2026 • 5–7 PM
Second First Friday: February 6, 2026 • 5–7 PM
A “Thin Place” is an ancient concept- the idea that in some geographical locations, the veil between the material world and another world is especially permeable. Hannah Jensen engages with her own experience of these thin places, capturing the nature of their unique permeability and transcendence.
Through her paintings, viewers are invited to step into these “thin places,” experiencing the quiet transcendence, intimacy, and shifting perceptions that such landscapes inspire. The exhibition reflects both the personal and universal resonance of these special spaces, offering a contemplative journey through memory, place, and the sacredness of the outdoors.
About Hannah Jensen:
Hannah Jensen’s acrylic and oil paintings are intimate love letters to the landscape, capturing connections and experiences that linger in her memory. Through vibrant, layered color and intuitive, winding lines, she guides viewers across her canvases, revealing the sacredness and subtle beauty of the natural world. Each composition emerges as a resonant, storied tapestry—rich with nostalgia, wonder, and reverence for place.
A self-taught contemporary landscape artist based in Central Oregon, Jensen has been featured in the Coors Western Art Young Guns Pop-Up and is represented by the Evergreen Gallery in Evergreen, CO. Her work is exhibited primarily in Central Oregon and the Denver area and has attracted collectors across the United States.
THE ANNEX: A Scalehouse Project located in the atrium of Franklin Crossing is the latest program from Scalehouse Collaborative for the Arts. Through an online application, artists will submit work and proposals. We are delighted to support local artists with a space to show new works, gain experience and exposure in the field, and add to Scalehouse's mission of building community around arts and culture events.
