Jen Swearington's creative life seems to boil down to one main thing: A strong sense of curiosity which has led to a love of constant learning. Though she is most known for her textiles her creative ideas span a range of media including paper cutting, bookarts, drawing, quilts and sculpture. Drawn by the belief that art is everywhere, she finds inspiration not only from international travel and artist residencies, but also from walking out of her own front door and simply looking around and being open to what's out in front of her. She reminds us that it's ok to allow ourselves some frustration, that it's important to go out and actively find what is interesting to us and that unless you want to do things the same way for the rest of your life your only choice is to figure out how to do something different.
