Jo Swigart
Yukon, OK
Oklahoma native and self taught artist working to make my place in the art world. I had the privilege to be a tattoo artist for over 17 years and own my own studio in Yukon for 13 of that. I retired in 2018 and sold my shop and started my adventure into painting and sculpting. I primarily use oils and acrylics in my paintings and create from my imagination. I work towards having my own unique style in many different subjects. I allow the pieces to form as I sit with a blank brand new start. I have been told my genre is “Magick , not quite realism” I love that.
As an artist, I am deeply inspired by the enchanting cycles of nature that persist, even amid the chaos of our manic world. My work seeks to illuminate the beauty that exists in life's darker moments, revealing the profound connections we share with the natural environment. Through each brushstroke and note, I strive to express the essence of my soul song—a melody that harmonizes with the rhythms of existence. It is within this interplay of light and shadow that I find magic, and through my art, I invite viewers to embark on a journey of exploration and reflection. Together, let us uncover the resilience and grace that life offers, reminding us that even in the depths of darkness, we can discover beauty and Renewal. In a world often overshadowed by chaos and urgency, my work embodies the quiet yet profound magic found in the cycles of nature that envelop us. Each piece reflects my journey to uncover the beauty of life, even in the darkest of times. Through my art, I channel the whispers of the natural world, resonating with the rhythms and patterns that often go unnoticed. My soul song—a melody crafted from the essence of these experiences—serves as a guiding light, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the inherent beauty that exists within the cycles of existence. It is my hope that through my art, others may find solace and inspiration, discovering their own moments of magic amidst the chaos.
