Glimmers, by Jordan Tillman

Opening reception for “Glimmers,” watercolor and soft pastel paintings by Jordan Tillman. Exhibit runs from October 3–November 13. Artist’s Statement Glimmers. Tiny, easy-to-miss moments of joy and happiness in your daily life. The morning light in the garden, a ladybug taking flight, the colors of the clouds, cut flowers in a vase, a summer fruit harvest. In times of fear and division, hopelessness and sadness, I look to nature for healing and peace and hold onto these glimmers tighter than ever. When I am unsure how I can make any difference I paint my glimmers, in the hopes that they will resonate with you, too. Artist’s Bio I am a Salt Lake City based painter committed to portraying the beauty, light and magic of Mother Nature. I work mainly in watercolor, soft pastel and gouache. I am a self-taught artist who is always striving to learn and improve by constantly taking courses and trying new techniques and materials. I have shown my work in many art festivals across the state of Utah, including the Utah Arts Festival and the St. George Arts Festival. I am inspired by the soft colors and subtle details found in the natural world and I hope you’ll feel a sense of connectedness through my paintings.
