more about myself
My name is Jordan Pearson and I'm visual artist, educator, and beekeeper living in central Alberta, Canada. I studied fine art at Red Deer College and the Florence Academy of Art in Italy. Afterwards, I received my Bachelor of Education in art from the University of Alberta.
My process involves the technique of encaustic painting. I use many layers of rich pure beeswax and damar resin as the painting medium. To colour the painting medium, I use oil paint and dry pigment. I use the encaustic painting medium to work in numerous thin layers with the result being deeply layered paintings that take advantage of the wax’s transparent quality.
I travel, hike, and explore to gather my reference photos that lead my work. Using my own reference photos is a very important part of my painting process because as soon as I take that picture, I have a connection and story that I want to further explore through painting to suggest thoughts or a narrative with the viewer.
