Jim Jordan

Growing up as the son of an illustrator, I was immersed in art from an early age, which undoubtedly influenced my creative path. I formally studied art and design at the Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts), earning a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design in 1962.

My career spanned various corporations, including Westinghouse and Corning Glass, and design consultancies like Walter Landor. I also taught at Hong Kong Polytechnic and earned an MBA from Boston University. Family is my greatest joy, with five children and three grandchildren marking significant life milestones. Although my undergraduate studies included fine arts, I initially focused on design and only revisited fine art later.

After retiring, I attended classes at DVC, earning certificates in painting/drawing and ceramics. The joy of creating art has been enhanced by the incredible artists I've met. At Studio 55, I discovered a well-equipped studio and a supportive community of artists, providing a sense of purpose and connection—especially vital during the pandemic.
