Formerly known as J. Art Fox, Jordan initially focused on figurative art and wildlife. His early works, while aesthetically pleasing, yearned for a deeper narrative and emotional conviction.
In 2022, Jordan experienced a series of transformative events that reshaped his worldview and steered him towards the teachings of Christ. This spiritual awakening profoundly influenced his artistic direction, leading him to imbue his works with a rich tapestry of personal faith and biblical stories.
Today, Jordan is passionate about reviving and preserving the traditional style of classical Christian painting. His art is a modern-day homage to this grand, emotive style, characterized by neoclassic portraiture, rich color, and poignant spiritual narratives. By intertwining his personal journey with historical and biblical accuracy, Jordan's paintings become more than just visual stories; they are invitations to explore faith and spirituality.

His paintings, intricate in detail and steeped in tradition, are a testament to the enduring relevance of Christian themes and the timeless beauty of oil painting. Jordan seeks to offer a unique expression of Christ's divine nature, combining historical artistry with modern sensibility, thus sparking spiritual curiosity and connection in today's rapidly evolving world.
In his art, Jordan bridges the gap between the past and present, making his oil paintings not mere retellings of biblical narratives but personal reflections of his journey from atheism to Christianity. His work captivates art lovers and spiritual seekers alike, standing as a vibrant testament to the transformative power of faith and art.
