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.
