    About the artist:
    Born in 1916 in Loma, Colorado, Eunice Jensen-Parsons studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and since 1931 has been exhibiting her prints, paintings, tiles and – most recognizably – her collages, first in Portland galleries and then in Seattle and San Francisco. Between 1950 and 1954, Parsons studied at the Portland Museum Art School (now Pacific Northwest College of Art), where she later taught painting between 1957 and 1979 and from which she received an honorary MFA in 2001 and was honored with a 50-year retrospective exhibition. Parsons also taught at Portland State University, co-founded the 12x16 Gallery in Portland that operated from 2006 to 2017, and she remains the only remaining living artist from the 2004 group show “Northwest Matriarchs of Modernism” at (the now closed) Marylhurst University. Parsons has works in the collections of the Portland Art Museum and Brooklyn Art Museum, among others.
