About Me

I’m Jordan Kwarcinski, an artist and graphic designer from the United States. I specialize in digital illustration, though I’ve also branched out into photo manipulation and typography. I was 12 years old when I first started drawing, sketching portraits of my classmates in the margins of my 7th grade pre-algebra notes. I remember trying so hard to get their proportions, their expressions, the lay of their hair just right. Today, when I draw people, I put a lot of importance in making their pose and expressiveness feel true to life.

With my art, my main goal is to take the concepts on the page and breathe life into them. This is true whether I’m making the person in a digital portrait feel authentic and real, or designing a poster where the ideas need to jump off the page and grab the attention of passerby.

I’ve used my skill with design to contribute to several projects in the Sioux City area— I was the art director of the 87th edition of Kiosk Art and Literary Magazine, and I was a freelance designer for Trimtab Foods. My creative work has also been featured in the 2023 Orange City Art Show, the 2025 Design on the Edge Exhibition, and most recently, my own exhibition Living Inside the Canvas.
