TX-Style: Hello.

Texas Creativity

Hello. As a new member to the Blogger World, I would like to introduce myself:

My name is Jordan Barnett and I was born and raised in the great state of Texas! I grew up in a loving Christian family including my dad, mom, and THE BEST big brother EVER. I have been so blessed to have such an encouraging family (& extended family) who have always supported me through all my artistic/creative ventures. I am a studio artist currently studying at Southern Methodist University. Although I place myself in the category of "studio artist" I am much more than that. I started school at The University of Oklahoma where I cheered and pledged the GREATEST sorority, Tri Delt. After deciding that I needed to learn the business side to art I transferred to SMU. The transition was a challenge since I had made so many wonderful friends at OU, but I was ready to engage in classes that would be beneficial to my future plans of becoming an artistic business owner.

For this blog I plan to learn a lot about myself. I want to be able to encourage other artists to try something new yet still stick to their values and beliefs. This blog will be a place for me to share my thoughts, ideas, and activities of my daily life as a creative individual. I plan to write as much as possible working around my busy schedule as a student and nanny.

People are always looking for that one idea that is unique and unlike something they have ever seen/heard... and this is the place to find it. My goal is to show and give inspiration for all types of artist-- whether it be in photography, printmaking, sewing, fashion, metal work, jewelry, and design. I want the BIGGER style of Texas to be known... because as you know, EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS!

So, why should you read my blog? Well... because I am a funky, outgoing, girly-girl, who is constantly creating something new and always working on multiple things at once! There is never a dull moment in my full schedule... I am all over the place!
