Jordan's work fosters conversations about climate and environmental impacts through the lived experience as a Black and Bi-racial femme. For Jordan, many spaces have never fully felt like they belonged. As she ages, explores connections with a Black paternal family, and investigates the patterns of a white maternal family, Jordan has begun to extensively question who she is, where and how she belongs to place, and what people she belongs to. Jordan’s passion for engaging communities with Maine’s coastal landscapes stemmed from experiences in environmental and outdoor education and engaging people who may not have otherwise connected with southern Maine islands and waters.
Through interactive outdoor exhibitions and site-specific installations, Jordan encourages people to engage with their surroundings, find a sense of adventure and discover art along the way. On a smaller scale, Jordan commonly uses woodcut and linoleum monoprint processes to create visuals that are heavily influenced by our relationship with the natural world and each other.

Art is embodiment for me; it’s synonymous to the lines I draw in nature on a surf or snowboard, it moves with the music I curate and dance to, it is more than the visual art I create with my hands. I hold an immense amount of respect for the lands of the Wabanaki people that I currently call "home,” and for those who have suffered and currently suffer from colonization, oppression and genocide - my ancestors included.
