ABOUT

 

Artist. Educator. Traveler. Creative.

 

JordanneRenner is a portrait artist that works across many platforms including large format film photography, figurative sculpture, mixed media paintings, public art & installation. She considers photography as an extension of her Self, a subject she has been investigating since 2000. Other topics of investigation are for her are the culture of place, the body and landscape, what we eat, and the psychology of memory. Regular mixed media works that are in a diaristic form are apart of the artist's report, as is community outreach, art direction, and exhibition curation.

​

Jordanne is a grant and fellowship recipient from the Puffin Foundation, Edwin Austin Abbey Mural, FotoFocus Biennials, and GCAC. Public service is a no-brainer for her, as she has served on the Board of Directors for the Society for Photographic Education and their Executive Committee from 2019 to 2024, prior to this Jordanne served for a decade on the DC Council for the Wexner Center for the Arts. Since 2008 she has been professing the photographic arts as full-time adjunct faculty under varied tenures,  while always rallying freelance works including curation, bespoke events, art direction, photo/graphic arts, and commissioned works for private and public collections.​ 

​

Jordanne is a wildly energetic light of a woman with a BFA (RISD) and an MFA (OSU). She believes in giving back to the community, and is regularly involved with initiatives dismantling food deserts, supporting social justice, education, and arts outreach. Travel and genuine experiences top her list of daily rituals, as does Earthing, and investigating histories, quantum/physics, and societal pressures.

​

Her mural works are held in public installations: a 204ft mural painting on Duck Creek Road in Cincinnati, Ohio; a five-wood panel painting in Goodwill Columbus’ main conference room; a 25ft mural painting in the North Market of Columbus, Ohio; a 22ft mural painting in Haus Frau Haven in German Village (Columbus, OH); a 14ft mural painting in Goodfellow’s Tonsorial Parlor in Columbus, Ohio, among many private large-scale paintings for clients in their personal homes around the States.
