Carrie Swim

American / b. 1985.

Born in Houston, Texas, Carrie Swim stepped into this world, embracing any creative tool possible to process and share a message of life with an unbreakable sense of curiosity and wonder. The trials of humanity only drove her further into the miracles life can produce under pressure. Today, Carrie holds a strong lyrical abstract style in painting informed by movement and sound. She uses an ever-evolving visual language sourced in a classical training of drawing, painting, and printmaking that she gained through her BFA at Baylor and studies in Italy. By her Masters at the University of Kansas and the beginning of her seven-year career in New York City, she began to bring a tangibility to the unspoken elements of “essence” or “essential matters” through abstraction.

Her paintings actualize primarily through her practice of interlacing dance with painting; she calls this her “body painting” process. She moves with sound, time, and spirit within and beyond her. Each painting carries layers of intuitively chosen colors and forms, each carrying a pulsing rhythm of movement establishing an atmosphere for the viewer to step into.
