February Featured Artist — Mike Jordan
Art by Mike Jordan will be on display in the Hanover Area Arts Guild’s gallery, starting February 4 and continuing through March 1. In addition to being an artist, Mike is also an occupational therapy assistant and bartender. His art often depicts familiar scenes in a super-realistic style. Viewers have commented that his art is very easy to relate to, and it reminds them of their own experiences.
Mike creates his art using a mixed-media approach that incorporates alcohol-based markers, colored pencil, enamel, and acrylic paint. He draws his inspiration from his love of the ocean, rural living, sports and vintage photography. Mike grew up emulating artists such as Norman Rockwell and his visual storytelling, Johannes Vermeer for his dynamic use of light, and Ron English for his brilliant use of brand imagery. He also gives credit to “all those beautiful comic books I got to read as a child” as a source of his inspiration.
Mike is a member of the Hanover Area Arts Guild, where he regularly shows his work in exhibits. He has won several awards for his art.
