******************************************************

"There is a palpable feeling of energy and matter coming into contact. Swinand's paintings are a valid attempt to get beneath the surface to the essence of things."

--Leon Nigrosh, Worcester Phoenix

..
"... in her work, Swinand dances gracefully on a balance beam, bridging philosophy and humor."

-- Christina Pappas, Worcester Magazine
