Jordan Innes

Jordan Innes is originally from Dallas, Texas.  He has always loved creating art in various mediums -- painting, writing, sculpture, music, mixed-media experimental, and filmmaking -- and has had a long gestating fascination with the large and unorthodox conceptual ideas proposed in avant-garde art.  In high school he received the Rhode Island School of Design Book Award for his artistic portfolio and the Raymond Nasher Sculpture Center's Young Artist Sculpture Award for his project "Arbor Sea".

Jordan started college at the University of Southern California as an art major, specifically studying encaustic painting* under master painter Juvenal Reis (*the Egyptian tradition of painting with wax made famous by contemporary Pop Artist Jasper Johns).  During college he developed a passion for the study of film and transitioned to the dedicated study of Film and Television: Critical Studies.  He continued his passionate pursuit of filmmaking at the University of Southern California's Graduate School of Cinematic Arts where he received a Master's in Film Production with a focus on film editing and screenwriting.

Upon graduating, Jordan worked in Los Angeles as a freelance film editor, writer, composer and graphic artist until moving to Wittenberg, Wisconsin in September 2010.  He currently works at Northcentral Technical College, making short videos for their various educational programs and marketing efforts.  He enjoys life in the country where he has uninhibited time to focus on writing, painting and filmmaking.

Jordan is inspired to pursue creative forms of expression as an unique means of communicating with people; hoping to engage in a non-traditional dialogue with others through his work.  In this work, Jordan often explores conflicts, natural and man-made, historical and philosophical, formal and conceptual, conflicts that inspire communication in its various forms -- all, and hopefully, representative of his particular sense of humor.
