[2] After graduating from the University of Manitoba School of Art with her BFA in 1969,[3] Jordana started her career in the 1970s as a super-realist painter of life-size airbrush paintings of slaughtered whales in Northern Canada.
[9] The Rites of Nuliajuk (1977),[10] performed at different places in Ontario, including the Robert McLaughin Gallery, marked the beginning of her crossover from fine artist to musician.
[12] With their hit single "CN Tower" (1977), The Poles won the first U-Know Award[citation needed], and were regulars at punk venues including Max's Kansas City, the El Mocambo and CBGB, where they played alongside Devo and the Ramones.
Her stage show Storming Heaven, a rock opera which cast a dystopian glance at the realities of animal testing, was presented at the DuMaurier Center in Toronto and toured to the United States.
Jordana also has been professor and coordinator of the program in digital animation and game design and development at Centennial College's Centre for Creative Communication.
