About Jordan

I know for sure that beauty is everywhere. Sometimes it shows itself in lavish displays, sometimes it’s so subtle we miss it twenty times before we notice. It’s free, it doesn’t stop and it reminds me I am loved. I simply am a public translator and storyteller of beauty.

I am also called an illustrator, perched with my husband, two daughters and two bunnies in the stunning, hilly Lake Superior city, Duluth, Minnesota. I work with a range of small and big organizations, bookmakers, magazines, publishers and people, creating art that comes alongside and makes messages bloom, as well as prints of my own to share. Picture books are the next big adventure for me, both to illustrate and write.

I'd love to get to know you, too–and have the opportunity to create together.
