Biography for
Paul Jensen:
Paul Jensen is a wandering spiritual songwriter
who explores the high deserts of Western Colorado
and Eastern Utah in isolation, seeking out
the inspiration for his
art. The impetus for Paul’s art is seclusion
in the wilderness. One of Paul’s great
passions in life was spent taking care of his
vineyard next to the beautiful Colorado National
Monument with its enchanting canyons and towering
spires and red rock formations. From this period
in his life Paul was able to delve even deeper
into earth concepts and how they relate to
the music he writes, as well as continuing
to grow and cultivate his unique brand of mysticism.
Jensen’s work has been receiving critical
acclaim. His work has been described as “extremely
contemplative,” and is so divinely complex
that it has been used in middle school testing
for advanced students. Paul’s fan base
is growing internationally as word spreads
about this songwriter’s deep, rich music,
which has become a healing mantra to those
fortunate enough to hear of this reclusive
desert hermit.
Paul has finished his 3rd release,
entitled “The
Other Side”.
Grammy award winning producer/songwriter/friend,
Will Ackerman, produced this project, and played on it as well. Will assembled an impressive
list of artists to help accomplish the task
of finding the essence of Paul’s work.

Biography for B.E. (Brad) Butler:
Born and raised on the high plains of Eastern Colorado,
Brad grew up with a great appreciation of Nature's
beauty. Having always loved the art, Brad made
the decision to pursue photography full time
about twenty years ago. He realized that what
he enjoyed so much about hunting & fishing
was not the hunt or the fish, but the scenic
beauty that surrounded him while he was outdoors.
Brad says: “There are and have been many
artists in the world, but none that compare
to Mother Nature. My goal is to capture this
beauty and bring it to you the way I see it.” Brad
hopes you enjoy visiting his website. He believes
that while not all of his pictures will be
special to everyone, you will find some images
that are special to you.
