"J0RDANNA"
a name i grew into
After years of creating through faces, bodies, fashion and collaboration, I found my way back to the canvas.
Painting has become both a return and a beginning. It gives me a space to process where I am, to make sense of what I experience, and to document the things I sometimes struggle to express.
My practice is still a terrain I am discovering.
I am learning, experimenting and finding my way through image, material, colour and form, drawing from beauty, identity, memory and the complexity of being human.
This is where I am now. Still discovering, still learning, still making.

On bringing my drawings to life...
Inspired by the Deitys of the Yoruba , a part of where I hail, I aimed to rediscover that part of myself by reimagining the Orishas in intense color and glorious pieces sometime in 2019. This project took about two years to complete.
"Just because you know how to hold a paint brush doesn't make you an Artist...
It's the act of guiding that brush to places no one's ever been or wouldn't dare to go that defines you."
-Nola's Professor as told by Nola in the show,
"She's gotta have it"
