A little bit about Jordan
Greetings and welcome to my website! I am Jordan Perkins, a self-taught artist based in the picturesque Coldstream, BC. Let me take you back to where it all began in 2015, in the charming town of Castlegar, BC. At the time, I was 35 years old and seeking a delightful activity to share with my daughter during our afternoons together.
Our adventure led us to the local dollar store, where we eagerly stocked up on an array of vibrant paint colors and canvases of various sizes. Although my initial attempts at painting were far from impressive, something magical happened when my daughter requested to hang one of my creations in her room. That moment ignited a spark within me, filling me with an incredible sense of accomplishment and joy.
From that point forward, I embarked on a journey of exploration, continuously honing my skills and experimenting with new techniques and styles. As my passion grew, so did my collection of art supplies. Countless hours and countless paintings later, I have discovered my artistic identity—a style characterized by bold, large-scale pieces that serve as captivating centerpieces within any space. My focus primarily revolves around the creation of animal and people portraits, each one a testament to my artistic evolution.
Today, I find myself immersed in a world of colors, constantly pushing the boundaries of my creativity in pursuit of my finest masterpiece yet. Join me as I embark on this exhilarating quest, where spilled paints become the stepping stones to my artistic zenith.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you enjoy exploring my artistic journey.

"Transform Your Beloved Pet into a Vibrant Work of Art!
I am so sorry but I am not accepting commissions, please sign up on my email list to be notified when I start again.
I'm thrilled that you appreciate my unique painting style. Allow me to capture the essence of your favorite person, animal, or pet through a fun and colorful piece of art. By utilizing your preferred photo, I can bring out the intricate details, such as their expressive eyes and delicate nostrils.
To ensure the best results, I recommend the popular 2x3 size for a single pet subject. Should you desire to include two subjects, I offer the option to expand to this size, with an additional charge of $100. Rest assured, the extra time and effort invested in capturing multiple subjects will be well worth it.
Conveniently located in Vernon, I provide free pickup services, while shipping options are also available. For paintings sized 2x3 or smaller, there is a flat rate of $50 Canadian for shipping within Canada. For those shipping to the USA, the rate is $80.
Let's immortalize your cherished pet in a stunning artwork that will bring joy and color to your space. Contact me today to get started!"
I hope this revised version captures the professional yet engaging tone you were looking for. Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with!
