Eunice Jensen Parsons BORN 1916, OREGON ARTIST
Currently 106 years old, artist Eunice Jensen Parsons has enjoyed a remarkable life and career. She studied at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1934–35, the Portland Museum Art School from 1950–54, and in 1957 took a bus trip to the East Coast to study abstract expres- sionism. Parsons joined the faculty at the Museum Art School, where she was active from 1958–1979, and was known as a blunt but brilliant teacher. She has worked as a painter, printmaker, tilemaker and collage artist, eventually moving away from painting in the 1970s to focus on collage.
