About Deane Swick
Deane Swick is best known for her large scale, mixed media paintings which often combine the quick drying, contemporary medium of acrylic paint, applied with both traditional and non-traditional tools, with the historical use of Belgian Linen.
Small scale paintings represent the plein air custom of working directing in the out of doors.
A love of nature’s rugged beauty and majesty has inspired the artist to merge several beloved practices: hiking, painting, and writing. Years of drawing and painting outdoors have yielded an extensive, layered, continuous dialogue reflecting the artist’s inner life and the passage of time. Unique, hand made books, utilizing classic book structures, reflect a lifetime devotion to reading and art making.
