Karen Jenson began painting when she was just 20 years old - a venture that would lead to a career as a professional artist and teacher. Jenson and her husband purchased a home in Milan in the early 1960s, and Jenson spent years designing every nook and cranny of the home with her Scandinavian-inspired artwork amidst her 50-year career of painting and teaching art around the United States and Canada. The work was done with the help of two identical twin brothers Jenson met early on in her homeownership. The contractors/artists, Arvid and Aron Swenson helped to complete the home, called the Trestuen Gallery. The word Trestuen is Swedish for “Tree Room”. “When she bought the house, it was just a typical little small-town house,” says Milan Village Arts School board member Ron Porep. “When she met the twins, Arvid and Aron Swenson, they built a whole new section on the house. They actually cut down these big conifers in the garden and they used those as the beams. The whole concept of the house is built around nature.”

Try looking just before the sky starts to lighten on the 29th. Venus will be to the upper left of a thin waning moon and Mars will be between them, but closer to the moon.
