Jordan Parker was born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where she developed an appreciation and awe of nature at a very early age. She spent her formative years in North Idaho, where her parents homeschooled her and their three other children in a small house in the woods. Her teenage years were spent on a game preserve that teemed with wildlife, providing many opportunities to practice drawing the flora and fauna that resided there. After moving to Washington State in 2008, she began painting with watercolors and acrylics. In 2014, she started to paint professionally.
She primarily paints in acrylic, covering subjects from local landscapes to horses and wildlife. Driven by the natural beauty of Washington and Idaho, she seeks to convey the color and splendor she sees to the viewer through her work. In her own words, “It is paramount to be able to capture a moment or mood, to keep the feeling that I first had when coming across a scene.” As a self-taught artist, Jordan relishes in the learning process that comes with experimentation.
Jordan’s artwork was recently on the cover of Natural Awakenings magazine and she was jury selected for the 2015 and 2016 Issaquah Art Walks. Her artwork is also currently displayed in private collections and businesses across the United States.
