Elaine Swyt displays work on art wall
By ELAINE SWYT Charbonneau resident
Elaine Swyt is displaying her artwork on the community ’ s art wall in the Activity Center . She wrote a bit about herself below :
I was born and grew up in Salem , Oregon in the 1950s & ’ 60s . I relocated to the San Francisco area to attend the University of San Francisco , where I received a Master ’ s in Organizational Development . My career followed for the next 20-plus years in human resources , communications and community relations , which took me to
many enchanting venues throughout the United States and abroad .
In 1995 , I transitioned from corporate life to starting my own web development and design business , Mediaphysics , in the San Francisco area . Over these past 30 years , I discovered my love for graphic and photographic design .
In 2006 , my husband , Joe , retired and we moved back to Oregon and to Charbonneau . With the encouragement of friends and family , I began to show my art at local shows and a few galleries and have enjoyed this immensely . Joe is now with the angels . It has taken me a little time to refocus but I ’ m looking forward to traveling for as long as I can and adding to my collection . I hope you see that I try to capture the rich color , light and the simple soul of each image . And , in all my work , I hope to share my sense of joy and wonderment . I hope you feel this also .
