I am a Czech artist with over 20 years experience as an enthusiastic Fine Artist committed to delivering promised results and remaining true to my artistic vision with high energy, passion, drive and a commitment to success. As a Czech artist living in Canberra, Australia I carry my beautiful fairy-tale cultural heritage into every creative project, now also infused with my love and passion for Australia and its unique characters, places and incredible light and beauty. Whether it be working one-on-one with clients or capturing the essence of a place, I always look for the magic and a unique way to tell the story with sensitivity and love.

I'm a performing musician and composer, graphic artist, videographer and educator and have lived in the upper Blue Mountains for the last two decades. I perform with the psychedelic soundscape ensemble PaperSun and am an original member of the Spooky Men’s Chorale, the infamous Mountains-based mens a cappella group. My music has been employed in a wide range of projects over the years, ranging from a soundtrack for the independent film 'The Last Babushka Doll' (2018), a promotional video for MTNS MADE and for the DiG digital arts project for Penrith City Council. My most recent release, Sounds Of In-Between (2015) brings together voice, instruments and field recordings in a timeless collage of music and sound. I'm currently working on composing and recording an album of new material with PaperSun at my studio in Abbey Street, Leura. I completed a first class honours degree at Western Sydney University in 2015 and has presented research at conferences in Spain, New Zealand and Australia. My doctoral investigation explored the spatio-temporal phenomenon of suspension as an aesthetic approach in popular music and imagery, which resulted in the audiovisual work States of Suspension, performed with PaperSun at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre in 2018 as part of my thesis submission. I'm a sessional lecturer at WSU and also teach instrumental students through my own music school, Abbey Street Music. I can be contacted at music@abbeystreet.one or call/text 0417 376 733.

Since then photography and drawing have remained a constant diary for Swinfield. In 1983 she enrolled in a Bachelor of Visual Arts at City Art Institute (University of NSW) where she majored in Drawing and Lithography. Swinfield completed a Masters of Fine Art at The University of Newcastle in 2010 and it was here that many of the studio based disciplines of her youth merged, particularly photographic media in printmaking integrating drawing, and painting with the gathering of documents, research, text and history as an intrinsic storytelling process. Since graduating from the Masters of Fine Art in 2010 she has been selected for Artist in Residences with Captivate in Western Sydney from 2019- 20, Hazelhurst Regional Art Gallery in April 2017, Thirning Villa, Ashfield in 2015, Laughing Waters Road AIR (Eltham Victoria) with Nillumbik Council in 2013 and the Gunyah AIR in Port Stephens, NSW in 2012 where she returned to in February 2016.

Social media is where the eyeballs are. It's the place to connect with your audience and share your story. Building authentic connections in a saturated digital world takes time and focus. Cutting through the noise can feel impossible. I offer strategic solutions to help small businesses grow sustainably online. I've worked with artisan food producers, bookstores, Airbnb hosts, painters, jewellery designers, yoga teachers, fashion boutiques, and beekeepers. Bringing a small business's story to life through captivating visuals is my superpower. All you need is a strategy. That's just a fancy word for plan.

Wardrobe styling is my favourite activity. I love playing with clothes and collaborating to actualise a vision. As a stylist I prioritise client comfortability, director's vision and sustainability. Our current fashion industry is rife with waste, toxic attitudes and a focus on perfection. My professional practice aims to rewrite this and shift focus back onto the individual and highlighting creativity rather than perfection. To do so, I exclusively source from sustainable practitioners. I thrift, loan vintage, collaborate with local designers and upcycle pieces. This also allows me to be inclusive of a wide range of budgets, making my services accessible to anyone. I primarily work on shoots, whether it be fashion editorials, personal marketing campaigns or commercials, I am ready to be your portable stylist. I also have experience and love working on performance looks. In terms of client communication, I prefer to have 1-2 meetings prior to shoot/performance day to ensure goals are met and there is enough time to make the necessary adjustments. Depending on the job, one of these meetings will include a fitting or test run of the look and any other communication can be done in person or online. Each job is different and I am committed to tailoring my practice to best suit your needs. Please reach out if you have any questions, I am always happy to talk clothes :) Creative direction and fashion styling usually go hand in hand, however I am open to and love the role of creative direction as my sole purpose. In this role, I conceptualise ideas, manage the team, make all creative decisions for a project and generally lead projects from concept to completion. I love to be in charge and I love to collaborate. My process for CD is similar to styling, with a focus on client comfortability, director's vision and sustainability. However I also manage the team/project and tailor my practice to suit. Photography for me was born out of the desire to capture my looks in the way that I want. I shoot on a cannon digital and vintage digital. I love bts photography and capturing a more candid aesthetic. I am more recently exploring portrait and nature photography, but my main passion lies in fashion and music.
