About Me

- Check out my Website!!! www.kathyswift.com for a more detailed look at my paintings.
Welcome to my blog!!!
I am exploring some new dimensions to my love of art and creating. I have joined some community projects, and yahoo groups that work with Visual Journalling, Artist Trading Cards, Bookmaking, Mixed Media Trends and other related areas. I have been working for the past year on creating a whole lot of work that is different from my painting, but very much related. In fact, it has helped my painting tremendously to have ventured off in a few new directions. I stay up late at night playing with everything I can find, and responding to everything in front of me in a new way.
I look forward to sharing these adventures with you in my blog.
