Thank you for visiting Jordan Ragland Customs. Sharing my art with others is important to me – I strive to provoke thought and bring joy and smiles to everyone who sees my work.
Throughout my life I have dabbled in all types of art. However, it wasn’t until my youngest son, Adam, needed an infant cranial helmet that I utilized my skills in a new way. The helmet was a white, hard, plastic medical device that didn’t seem to belong wrapped around my baby’s head. I found that a little paint went a long way. I painted the helmet to look like a vintage aviator cap, and it made me and everyone else who saw Adam, feel cheerful, instead of sad.
Since then, I’ve been encouraged by both friends and strangers to bring more art, more joy and smiles, to those around me. I’ve had the privilege of painting not only cranial helmets, but wall murals, canvases, sports gear, handbags, shoes, jackets, wine bottles, casts – basically anything. I love breathing life back into long-forgotten items, as well as creating new ones. Listening to my client’s stories and visions, and then creating something unique just for them, is what fulfills me.
I am truly inspired by the world around us and enjoy using photography to explain my vison. Photographing personal, meaningful perspectives of everyday surroundings is my focus. Our neighborhoods, family homes, street signs, favorite things and regularly visited places – The seemingly small things in life that hold such great meaning.
I look forward to helping you bring your ideas to life.
