Artwork by Caitlin Schwerin

My name is Caitlin Schwerin (pronounced Shur-een) and I’ve been painting in acrylics for about 20 years.
My tools are brushes and sponges to move the paint around. Texture is a big part of my work, and I achieve it with gesso, pumice stone and collage. I create paintings that evoke happiness and love as sometimes it feels like it is lacking in this world.
I paint:
Hearts to remind us that love is here and now.
Birds because they lift me up on canvas and in real life.
Barns because they are like old friends.
The earth and the sky are always putting on a show and remind me of places I’ve been or would like to be.
I’ve got a minimalistic style, because life is so noisy and chaotic already – looking at something soft and simple calms me down.
Each piece comes with a free dose of good karma, and is made with love.
