Welcome to
Jordee Studio

Jordee is an Aotearoa-based artist building a grounded, evolving creative practice. Her work reflects movement across countries, seasons, and identity, favouring restraint, rhythm, and depth over urgency. She approaches art not as performance, but as a steady return to what matters.

ART BEGINS WITH OBSERVATION

Creative Philosophy

Why I still carry a sketchbook everywhere
Because the most meaningful moments are rarely planned.

Why observation matters more than perfection
Because truly seeing the world matters more than drawing it perfectly.

Why I paint slowly

Because every layer deserves the time to tell its story.

How travel changed the way I see colour

Every place leaves behind a new palette and a different way of seeing.

Why I believe art should invite people to pause
Because when we slow down, we often notice what matters most.

Licensed Pattern Designs

Patterns are another way I continue the stories that begin in my sketchbook – transforming moments of observation into designs that can be lived with every day.

My work has been featured in The Pattern Base: Over 550 Contemporary Textile & Surface Designs, a collection showcasing contemporary textile and surface designers from around the world.
