Artists Biography

My name is Jason Jenicke.  I am originally from Kansas City, Kansas and graduated in 2001 from the University of Kansas with a Fine Arts degree, emphasis in oil painting.  I am currently in the process of developing my art work and talents for the glory of God.

While studying at KU I became involved at the Saint Lawrence Catholic Campus Center.  Through the Center, I was given the opportunity to increase my faith on an entirely new level.  I began attending daily Mass, participating in daily prayer, and attending classes to deepen my knowledge and understanding of Catholicism.  As my faith grew so did my zeal for doing God’s will and using my art to best serve our Lord.  I certainly realize that the beauty created by human hands cannot compare to the beauty of God; yet, it is still a prayer of mine that my art will help lead others to a deeper love for the Lord.

In 2005 I went on a pilgrimage to Israel, to see the Holy Land with my own eyes.  While in the land where Jesus lived I was able to absorb and photograph all that makes it unique.  I hope to incorporate the experience of that trip in the art that I do to help the viewer have a more genuine feel of Christ’s life.

Since 2001 my mission has been to continue using my talents to create art that helps draw others to a more personal relationship with God.  Before each piece of art that I do, I study what I am depicting to help capture the emotion, the culture and the feel of that event.  I pray and keep faith that our Lord will continue to guide me and the talents that He has given me to help glorify Him and His son.
