Artist of the Day: Jordan Lester

Today’s Artist of the Day features an interview with Jordan Lester. Please find our conversation below.

We’re always amazed and inspired by the creatives in the community and we’re so excited to have a chance to ask you some fun questions today. To start, can you bring our readers up to speed on you and your work?
My name is Jordan Lester, a mixed media artist based in Scottsdale, Arizona. I have always had a passion for art and creativity, and have been honing my skills in digital media and painting for the past 3 years. My work is inspired by the vibrant colors and iconic pop culture imagery.

As my creations find a home in your collection, I hope they become windows to worlds that evoke emotions, stories, and memories. It is my hope that my creations will resonate with you, igniting a connection that transcends words and stretches into the realm of emotions and imagination.

Who (or what) has your work been inspired by? Do you hope your work inspires others? If so, what message do you want them to be inspired by?
My work is inspired by real-life events, experiences, and people. People who serve a positive influence and have made an impact on the lives of others.

I hope my work inspires people to do the best they can in whatever they do. Art is all based off your perspective. I want to give you the opportunity to interpret my art for yourself.
