"To me,
art has been a fact of life," Swanson says. "I have
earned my income from art and only art for the past 25
years."
-Michael Swanson
Michael
Swanson and his family immigrated to Canada from Europe in the mid 1950s,
forming roots in Southern Ontario. He has traveled extensively in North
America, having worked in both the United States and western Canada. Swanson
now lives in Ontario with his wife, Brenda, and their two daughters.
Most of
Swanson's aviation subjects require in-depth research for accuracy. Swanson
believes one cannot experience the process and ambiance of the
impressionistic masters, for example, without seeing what and where they
painted. Swanson's dedication to his art is brought to all his work. "The
style in which I create my subjects has changed from time to time, as have
the subjects themselves. Life is full of interesting things to paint, and,
as long as I am able, I will continue to search for that illusive 'perfect
picture.'
