Jessica L Gordon

 

Putting an end to color woes since 1997

You may have gotten to know her as the local color queen at Clement Hardware's Benjamin Moore store, but Jessica has been a color consultant since 1997, after graduating from the Atlanta College of Art with a degree in painting. Jessica’s artistic sensitivity has made her a color authority when it comes to color design for your home. Her background in art, decorative painting, color-matching, and extensive training from some of the leading paint manufacturers; gives Jessica the experience you want from an architectural colorist. A typical consultation begins with a tour of your project to allow for Jessica to get a sense of your needs. The on-site consultation allows for consideration of your lighting and the color relationships between all your major influential components (flooring, furnishings, fabrics, woodwork, windows, etc). Jessica then refers to an extensive library of large color swatches to design the appropriate color scheme for you. Once a design has been chosen you receive a paint schedule that contains all the selected colors specifying each color for each surface, and includes recommendations for paint finishes and application solutions.  When you hire Jessica Gordon for your next project, you are not just getting a decorator; you are getting a certified paint specialist and a trained architectural colorist.
