The Artist
Jan Gordon, who heads the company, is a professional photographer. Her background is in commercial and fine art photography.
On the commercial side, her images appeared in magazines such as Vogue and Bazaar.
On the fine art side, she has had several shows in museums and galleries nationally and internationally.
Having lived in Paris for at least half of the last 20 years has led to an array of images from Europe as well as the US.
History of the company:
During the last 8 years, Art 4 Buildings under the name J Designs sold original photographs, framed, at a competitive price,
to retail stores across the country. Such clients included Restoration Hardware, Bed Bath and Beyond, Linens and Things, Saks,
Neiman Marcus, and Pier I Imports.
Exposure in this retail business, and the sense of style and design exhibited by Jan’s choices,
has led to several requests to furnish the art for the large common spaces in offices and apartment complexes.
The results of these jobs were so spectacular, showing a consistent sophisticated design and look,
that the idea for the present company was born.
Now:
Because of the relationships created through different stages of work,
Jan is able to offer original photographs, framed, at fair market prices, and therefore enable her clients to enhance any
commercial space.
