Swoon

Today lets look at one of my favorite street artists of all time;  Swoon.

Swoon was born in Florida in 1977. She studied at the Pratt Institute in New York. Her work focuses on the ideas of immersion, transformation, and audience experience. For Swoon work seems to be something that is meant to be discovered through happy accidents. As a result her piece have a quality that is known to inspire community, and the artist herself has told stories about her works neighborhoods defending their pieces.

In addition Swoon spearheads her own non-profit project seeking to help families in Haiti.

Below are some of her fantastic works.
