Jord Nelsen, President and Interim Executive Director

I make sculpture as my primary creative pursuit. I studied under Paul Buckner at the University of Oregon, graduating with a BFA in 1995. I worked as a sole proprietor contractor for 10 years thereafter until I suffered a brainstem stroke as a result of a construction accident. In 2015, Third Space gave me a platform in which it was possible to re-engage in my first career love, the arts. I’m interested in helping others from the “creative class” do the same.

Jamie Angello, Secretary

Jamie Angello received their MFA from UC Davis in 2015 in the fields of painting, drawing and sculpture. Now an arts educator and entrepreneur, Jamie seeks to empower other creative individuals to pursue art as a tool for self-exploration, self-expression and healing.

Lou Taylor, Gallery Director

Hi I’m Lou! I moved to Davis in 2020 from Louisville, KY by way of Middletown, OH. In 2018 I received my BFA with a concentration in sculpture from Columbus College of Art and Design. My love for art, curating, hosting events, and displaying art has made gallery directing at Third Space a dream!

Josh Redman, Events Director

I sadly never got to experience the first incarnation of Third Space – having moved to Davis in Fall of 2019 – but I spent 10+ years organizing all ages music and community events in Santa Barbara at like-minded DIY spaces. I’m excited to help Third Space provide a venue for folks to create and share and learn and be vulnerable in a safe environment.
