From when he was young and throughout his show business career, Jensen spent his spare time painting, and it eventually became his primary love. The first Los Angeles exhibition of his impressionist works was at Galerie Marumo in 1985 entitled "California Summer." Jensen was the first American painter to have a solo show at Galerie Marumo's sister gallery in Paris with his exhibition of 24 Southern California scenes entitled "Fleurs de Liberte" coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty's presentation to the United States by France. Jensen was the only American artist represented by the gallery.
