Lee Suzanne Jordan
I’m an artist based in the Atlanta, Georgia area between the mountains and the city. I work in a loose and vibrant style that abstracts my subjects in a recognizable way. Where I live is so full of color and amazing sights and people. I paint a lot of mountains, florals and horses because of the hope, strength and resilience they inspire in me. Experimenting with the expressive qualities of acrylics and oils creates unique and unexpected effects in my paintings.
I’m currently available for commissions. Some of my work is also available for licensing. Please fill out the contact form below in you want to inquire about that. I also teach classes in my local community.
Studio: By Appointment in Canton, Georgia

More about my art style and how I create
Over time I’ve created several series of work that use symbols and metaphors to subtly explore the topics of my personal journey, the environment and what it means to be human. There is more to us than what we can see. When I create I try to make that connection with other people and spark curiosity.
Taking a sculptural approach, I add and subtract to paintings as I work. While I do research and create sketches and color studies, to stay loose and intuitive I use them as a starting point only. The process is a mix of exploration and experimentation. Layers of acrylics or oils are added and subtracted to give different textures and effects on paper, wood, and canvas to emphasize the subject and create a unique visual story. Viewers can experience the work at a distance and see expressive lines and colors or closely with noses almost touching the painting to find hidden symbols and details.
