Jordan Tacker (she/her)
Jordan Tacker was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1999 and studies representational painting in both oil paint and digital mediums. In her chaotic paintings, Jordan focuses on the human body and its different interaction with the world around her. She focuses intently on the use of chromatic colors and extensive patterns to make her work pop.
Tacker is working on her BFA in a classical track of Painting and Illustration from Laguna College of Art and Design in Laguna Beach, California. She has previously studied at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, along with interning at Gallery House Gallery and assisting artist Jocelyn Hobbie. She also studied at The Oxbow School of Art in Napa, CA , and the Oklahoma Academy of Classical Art Atelier program in Edmond, OK.
Last year, Tacker exhibited her first solo show in August at the Edmond Fine Arts Institute in Edmond, Oklahoma, where she used to take classes as a kid. She’s also shown in Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalitions Momentum, a juried arts show for emerging artists under 30 in Oklahoma, for the last few years. She’s attended many artist-led workshops taught by Mike Wimmer, Rick Berry, Leslie Leneau, and Jime Wimmer. As she's studying at LCAD in California, she tried to stay connected to the OKlahoma city art scene. She is a member of ArtGroup OKC, a group of upcoming artists focusing on studio visits and giving artists more opportunities, and the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition as well. Jordan Tackers is currently working on her thesis and completing her goal of graduating at Laguna College of Art and Design.
