Meet Jordan Armintrout, a painter based in The Village, Oklahoma, whose work bursts with color, energy, and emotion. Originally from Edmond, Jordan has been immersed in art since her teenage years, when she would spend hours redrawing her father’s sketches. That early spark grew into a lifelong passion and an expressive style that reflects her uniquely personal experiences and perspectives.​

A Journey Fueled by Emotion​
Jordan’s work is deeply rooted in the emotions she has carried since childhood. “I grew up with such big feelings and thoughts that I was too shy and anxious to express,” she shares. “I started putting those feelings into my art—happiness, fierceness, peace, love, humor. I like my paintings to have energy and movement.” Her inspiration often comes from people and emotions, but also from her love of music, fashion, and dance—all of which find their way into her vibrant compositions.

Style and Themes​
Jordan describes her painting style as bright, colorful, energetic, multi-dimensional, and unique. She is especially drawn to themes of movement and rhythm—echoes of her love for dance and music. Humor also plays a role, bringing a sense of playfulness into her art.

Morning Creation
​The best time for Jordan to paint is in the quiet of the morning. “Early, before everyone else is awake, I put on my headphones, get my space ready, and fall into my own world,” she says. It’s in these still hours that her boldest and most colorful ideas come to life. 

A Painting That Came Full Circle
One of Jordan’s most meaningful works is a recent reimagining of a painting she first created in 2017, during a time when she and her best friend were living together. The piece originally reflected who they were then, but when revisited years later, Jordan infused it with her evolved style, giving it new depth and life. “It holds so much special meaning because through everything, she has always been there—just like my art,” Jordan reflects.

"The blue and yellow is the original painting from 2017, I used to do most of my paintings in blue and yellow  color schemes for many years, The other is from this year [2025], I added in yellow to the remake to incorporate the original's colors with my current style and colors!" --Jordan Armintrout

Inviting Viewers Into Her World
When people encounter Jordan’s paintings, she hopes they feel a sense of joy, intrigue, and surprise. “Between the UV light, 3D glasses, and natural light, there’s something new to see in each light,” she explains. Her work is layered and multidimensional, inviting viewers to experience it in a multiple ways.
