BIO
Hi, I'm Jody Swanson
About Me
I hail from the great Canadian north true & free in northern Alberta. I graduated from the University of Alberta and joined our local pottery club in 1995. I've studied with great artists such as Nuboro Kubo, Robin Hoper, David Thompson, Trudy Golley, Lisa Cerny, James Lavoie and Jim Norton to name a few.
I am influenced by the beautiful nature of our rolling wheat fields, azure lakes, forests, and mountains. Wildlife and nature are inscribed in all of my pieces. My Metis heritage holds a special place in my heart and art! Indigenous themes follow throughout my artwork and each piece is embedded with spirit.
