As a former art & early childhood educator turned cosmetologist, gallerist, and event hostess, all the while a professional artist .....I've had a few adventures.

I count myself extremely fortunate to be able to combine the myriad of experiences I've gathered over my professional life into a career that I truly love. 

Being able to help people feel happy, confident and comfortable in their own skin is a true joy for me, whether working with them on the art project that is their hair, supporting and promoting their own creativity or just providing a welcoming place with positive vibes, each mode is a joy.


Please visit the art gallery and consider using the event space for your next event in Columbia.

Elizabeth Jordheim, Owner, Hostess

I curate the gift and exhibition galleries and host all events in the venue. Basically, I move things around all day - in an artful way.

If I've heard it once, I've heard it 100 times: "Wow, I feel so comfortable in here!" "This place has such positive energy!" "I feel so inspired in this space!"


Whether people are visiting the art gallery, attending a function in the event space, or enjoying their time in the wellness studios, they enjoy the good vibes.


Not trying to brag; just being so happy that my goal is working. I strive to run a business which is welcoming to people who are also welcoming to people.

Serendipity has  a very flexible atmosphere; your ideas ( for art for events) are welcomed and heard. I love to figure out  how to make things work for you.

Testimonials and recommendations

A testimonial from one of the many wonderful musicians who have played the Serendipity stage

"I have truly enjoyed collaborating with Elizabeth to bring live classical music to Serendipity. The gallery is a dream performance setting with gorgeous acoustics, intimate audience seating, and a beautifully curated ambiance. Elizabeth's commitment to local artists and musicians is apparent in the way she helps us showcase our work and connect with others in such creative and generous ways. To her, the gallery and salon isn't just a business - it's about building community and access to the arts.  We are so lucky to have her here in Columbia!” -Katie Dancer, professional flutist. www.flutejourney.com

Testimonials and recommendations

A testimonial from one of the many wonderful artists and craftspeople featured in the gift gallery.

"Elizabeth, you’re creating a space for artist to be seen and heard. The energy always has such great vibration when walking in. Whether it’s the band playing or the reverberation of a paint brush leaving a canvas, after the fact. 


I absolutely love what you continue to do to make the art gallery  and event space so lovely and bright. 

Thank you for your vision and opening up such a beautiful gallery. I am so excited to be affiliated with Serendipity Salon and Gallery by Elizabeth Jordheim as an artist/craftsperson, friend and art enthusiast. 🌙🪬✨" - Diedra Calvin

Testimonials and recommendations

A testimonial from another one of the many wonderful musicians who've played at Serendipity

"As a professional musician who plays at many varied venues, I will give Elizabeth and Serendipity a Triple AAA PLUS!!!!!


We love the space because it is a beautiful environment to play in.

The real pro is Elizabeth who enhances the space herself with gracious and thoughtful considerations to those who perform or exhibit here.


The space is at once inviting and cozy, but also exudes a sense of wonder with the displays in both the gallery and front area. All the art is curated and displayed with a fine hand and sensibility."

The Best Compliment Ever

In The District in Downtown Columbia, MO

The Best Compliment Ever

Feb. 2, 2024. At the opening reception in the eaart gallery and event space for Kelsey Hammond's show Grounded. The BEST compliment of the evening, (out of many similar ones, actually,):

from a young brown girl, maybe 9 or 10…

“I really like the art you have up. It’s beautiful and I like the body positivity.”

Kelsey Hammond, thank you for sharing your beautiful work; it’s IMPORTANT.

These compliments are the ones that keep me coming back the next day. - Elizabeth
