About the Illustrator

Jordan Cannon is an artist, writer/illustrator, and educator who specializes in experimental and interdisciplinary narrative work. She is constantly enchanted with Magical Realism, as it is portrayed in literature, movies, graphic novels, etc. Her curiosity and creativity fuels her passion to make art, seeing creating as a way to access the mysteries and endless possibilities of art and making. She is inspired most by philosophy, metaphor, and magic.

Jordan is a graduate of the MFA Illustration Practice program at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She has been published by the Norman Rockwell Museum, Womanly Magazine, and Spotify where she has been commissioned to illustrate some album art for the bluegrass band the Plate Scrapers, and she spent some time working for Bustin Boards where she painted and printed custom skateboards and long boards. She is currently seeking publication as a writer/illustrator working in experimental comics, picture books, and graphic novels.

Jordan has experience teaching Studio Art, Art History, Graphic Design, and Illustration on the college level for Shepherd University, Hagerstown Community College, Frederick Community College, and McDaniel College, and she continues to pursue more opportunities to teach.
