Ty Swint Art 

Hello. :) Thank you for visiting my little slice of cyberspace, Ty Swint Art. There's another delicious slice on the gram, lol. I am happy you are here and I'm happy to be here; loving, living and creating. One of the questions I'm often asked is, "What is your art about?" My art is about me, it's about us and it's about love. Loving one another is what I feel we were put on earth to do. How do I express that through my art? I love to express these thoughts through my art organically and I love to express these feelings by sharing the happy parts of life. The parts of life where we enjoy one another, good food, wine and drinks, joy, love, God, travel, music; the simplicities of life. I love encouraging myself and others to Just Be and simply enjoy this beautiful, crazy thing called life. 

A big hand to heart and God for giving me the most wonderful parents who have nurtured me with so much love and the encouragement to do the things I love and that brings me joy. Thanks to them I have enjoyed being a photographer where I have had awesome opportunities to photograph artists such as Usher and Ludacris at private art events and various music festivals. I stumbled upon a career as an interviewer, interviewing greats such as Method Man of the Wu-Tang Clan, two time Oscar winner Ruth E. Carter, costume designer for Black Panther and more. I'm currently working on my first book of poems, and I play my cutie Lovie, which is my cajon.

As far as my art style, I create mainly abstract and pop art. Some of my favorite artists are Barkley L. Hendricks. His painting Lawdy Mama is my all time favorite painting. I also love Cy Twombly, Basquiat, Kehinde Wiley, Frida Kahlo, Warhol, Carrie Mae Weems and Keith Herring. Other artists I love are Maya Angelou, Prince, Michael Jackson, D'Anegelo, Beyonce, Brigitte Fontaine, George Michael, Arthur H., Whitney Houston and Sade.
