To me the most thrilling concepts in painting are creating the illusions of light and of space, and to these ends in teaching I am most interested in weaving color theory into the practice of painting so that it becomes a seamless way of thinking about color, composing in three dimensions on a two-dimensional plane, and helping students use these ideas to find their own form of expression. I have been drawing and painting all my life. I grew up in New York City where I went to Cooper Union Art School.
J. Jordan Bruns is an artist and teacher living and working in Maryland and a Glen Echo Park resident artist working in the Chautauqua Tower. He recently returned from a three-year sabbatical in Tokyo, Japan (2018-2021) where much of his current aesthetic influences stem from.
I attended college at Carnegie Mellon University where I earned a BFA in graphic design. My interest in abstraction flows naturally from being a designer. After working in advertising, book design, illustration and publication design, I opened my own design firm, Linda S. Sherman Design, Inc. Our clients included PBS, the Kennedy Center, shopping malls, many labor unions, associations and the U.S. government. I sold my business in 2007 to follow my interest in painting and to have more personal time.
