Jorden DeGaetano is guided by intuition, often searching for what is felt beyond what is explicitly seen. Raised between Seattle and Los Angeles, his work carries a natural tension between lightness and introspection, centered on gesture and the fleeting intersections between people and landscape.

The grandson of Warren Wilson, a trailblazing broadcast journalist and among the first Black reporters on television in California, DeGaetano’s perspective is shaped by a lineage rooted in storytelling, cultural record, and access to moments often just out of reach. While their mediums differ, a shared throughline remains: an instinct to observe closely, claim one’s voice, and shape work that amplifies the identities and lived experiences of others.
