Elisa Jensen is a Brooklyn based painter who received her BA in Art from Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts and her Certificate in Painting from the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture. She is currently a painting instructor in the MFA program at the New York Studio School. In a 2018 interview with Etty Yaniv for the blog, Art Spiel, Jensen describes her work in context of contemporary art as follows:
"I have pursued painting that speaks to the human condition and to the spirit. There is a reason that an artist like Hilma af Klimt is being rediscovered right now: perhaps people are realizing that art is something to be lived with, seen and experienced and can evoke something greater than ourselves. Sometimes I feel that my work is archaic and strange. I'm trusting that's a good thing."

Jensen has been the recipient of several prominent awards including the Irish Arts & Culture Award from The Irish Echo in 2021, the National Academy Prize for Painting in 2010, and the John Koch Award in Art from the American Academy of Arts & Letters in 2009.
