About Jordan Kressley

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Biography

Pastel artist specializing in traditional portraiture, fantastical realism, pop surrealism, and narrative works.

Muralist and sign painter operating in Philadelphia.

ABOUT MY PROCESS

My Work

I have always been heavily influenced by my observations of the natural world, and consider my work a study of the interactions and conflicts therein.

I work traditionally with chalk pastel.
