Elliott Jordan brings an intimate look at acquaintances, friends and students he’s known in his recent past. Using skills and experiences developed over many years as a professional portrait artist and teacher, Jordan displays his talents in charcoal, pastels, acrylics and oils. His love for travel and diversity in people is coupled with a strong interest in art history and technique. Though tending toward realism, and strongly influenced by expressionism, his core interest is unique character and common humanity.
