About Artist Krista Swisher
I began painting in 2018 and it continues to keep me sane. I use acrylic paint because it is more forgiving when I make mistakes. I paint more abstract works with little imagery because I can use color choice, brush strokes, paint thickness, paint application, etc. to show emotion or passion or enthusiasm.
Artists I love and who have been influential include Willem deKooning, Frida Kahlo, Lee Krasner, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko.
I' m proud to have been interviewed for the Franklin, Indiana Daily Journal about my creative journey and process.
I discussed my inspiration, techniques and artistic offerings with Gina Blitstein on her podcast, Seeing From the Inside Out.
I’ve been following Krista and her amazing work for a while now and loved everything she created. They are always full of energy, and color and even attitude. As a former art director I knew I had to have one of my own. The only problem and its really NOT a
problem is that most were large scale works. I don’t have enough wall space! But when talking to Krista after viewing a specific piece, she made a promise, that she would create a piece similar in technique but of a smaller scale. I was thrilled.
And so, she presented me with this stunning abstract
expressionist piece that she titled as “Rew’s Sky”. It’s beautiful, full of energy like the artist herself and I love it. I’ve already received quite a few compliments regarding the work as now it’s hanging in a perfect location - our living room - to be gazed upon
for many years.
Krista was able to create a one of a kind for us. I know that she will do that for you as well.
From the proud owner,
Rew Van Wyck
