SALLY JORDAN
American

Sally spent her formative years living on the edge of lush forest in rural Massachusetts. Nature's extremes were reflected in the beauty and sensational changes of the forest. These changes made an indelible impression on a child who was highly sensetive to color.

After reeiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in painting from UCLA, Sally began her 20 year career as a Fashion Designer / Illustrator. After retiring from the garment industry in 1990, she continued to freelance as an illustrator and supplied stores with original designs for screen-printed garments.

Sally uses traditional color techniques as a foundation for her work. But nature is full of surprises. "I love to select a color palette, and when my painting is complete, I add finishing touches in a color that is not a part of my overall color scheme. Life and nature contain a myriad of idiosyncratic elements. I want my work to be unpredictable and contain something unexpected."
