"Many times when I am painting, I am unaware of what I am painting, I only know that I am painting. I am often shocked when I see the finished product. A dealer once suggested I was taken over by the spirit of Georgia O'Keefe. Well, not to my knowledge. Though there are times I begin painting a landscape only to wind up with a flower. I start a still life, it turns into a flower. There are times I feel as though someone other than myself has taken over my brush. "
Jordan
says, "I see life as a metamorphosis, an infinity, a cyclical flow of energy. A universal energy with no beginning and
no end. I paint that energy. When I paint a flower, I am that flower. Sometimes when I paint, I am unaware of what I am painting
------ Only that I am painting."

Hilary Holmes gave me a knowledge of the palette and the discipline necessary to paint realism, while Nelson Shanks taught me the difference between sketching and painting a portrait. Thomas Fogarty and Oldrich Teply taught me to see and express freely what I saw and gave me the faith in myself not to doubt my abilities. The famous abstract artist, Richard Pousette -Dart gave me an understanding of abstract thought and emotion. This understanding gave me the freedom to express my feelings in abstract .
