CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) — Local artist Terri Jordan, known best for her figurative work, explores the beauty of the changing seasons over the past year in her new series, “When the Gates Open.”
It debuted at the Wade Bourne Nature Center in Rotary Park. The suite of oil paintings captures the scenery of the park itself.
“As an artist, I think the shutdowns brought more awareness of my surroundings. Like many other people during these unusual times of COVID-19, my family found a sense of peace and freedom exploring the outdoors,” Jordan said. “Rotary Park is close to my home and the changing seasons offer many opportunities to see new things within the transitioning landscape. The new nature center is a beautiful and inspirational place. We are fortunate to have it in our community.”
Jordan’s paintings have been exhibited in group and solo shows throughout the country, according to the release. In 2012, Jordan was one of 25 female artists selected to participate in the National juried exhibit titled “Where Do We Go from Here? The Shape of Things to Come” at the RCC Wiseman Gallery in Grants Pass, Oregon.
In 2015, she was named in the Top Ten Portrait/figurative artists of Tennessee by the Portrait Society of America. Jordan was selected to exhibit in the 2016 Contemporary Women Artists, Chico, California. Most recently she was selected into the 2021 ArtFields art event, a juried competition and exhibition in Lake City, South Carolina offering over $100,000 in cash prizes. Four hundred artists from over one thousand were chosen to participate.
“When the Gates Open,” will be on view through Feb. 28. For information on the work, contact Terri Jordan at jordanchemart@charter.net
