Your world is begging for art.
Jordan creates with passion, and creates work on any surface that will take paint. Her works denote joy, peace, and humor; her style is modern, illustrative, and expressive.
Iconic Women Series
My Iconic Women series is a project with great personal meaning. These paintings portray iconic women from history who have been habitually minimized, villainized, or misrepresented; in these paintings, I show them as they would appear if they were contemporary women, enjoying the freedoms and culture that they, themselves, have helped to create. What would Cleopatra be like if she were here now, living in a world influenced by the original Cleopatra? What about Joan of Arc, or Marie Antoinette? We find ourselves looking at a business tycoon, a radical activist, and an instagram influencer.
Portraying our female icons as modern women reminds us to consider them as human beings, dimensional and flawed; and it is also a chance to portray them living in a bit more peace, no longer fighting for some of the very basic rights and privileges they had to fight so hard for in their first lives.
My paintings are meant to reflect contemporary poses, often parodying fashion magazines and other commercial portrayals of women, reminding us that even today, women are affected by capitalism and the male gaze. I paint these women in a modern, almost illustrative style which brings energy and vibrancy to the piece and enlivens any space that one of the paintings occupies. These are beautiful pieces for those who celebrate colour, power, humour, and of course...women.
