| JJ Jordan Bio | |||
|
JJ originally hails from Kansas and spent two years in Chicago before settling in Denver in 1994. After leaving corporate America in 2003, JJ formed two LLCs: Jordan Art Partners, an art marketing company, and The Jordan Consulting Group, a business consulting firm. Jordan splits her passion between business and art. "There are more similarities than you might imagine. I spent over 25 years conducting the art of business and could never abandon my passion for that profession. My consulting clients come from various industries, but my role in helping them improve and grow their organizations is consistently exciting and rewarding. In addition, I want to spend a good portion of the last chapter of my career enjoying the business of art, connecting talented artists and enthusiastic art lovers and exposing the community to great art through unique art parties and events. The common thread between my dual passions is that business and art are never boring. Every work of art and every business deal is unique and represents the intelligence, creativity and persistence of those involved." | |||
