Liz Lemon Swindle has a deep, abiding faith that she feels blessed to share through her art. A
lifelong Utah resident, she studied fine arts at Utah State University. She worked for several
years as a set designer and painter for the Osmond Studios television production company.
As her family grew (she and her husband Jon Swindle today have five children), she saw the
need for a more flexible career and decided to focus on oil painting. In the early 1980s she
tutored under renowned wildlife artist Nancy Glazier and soon after established her own
impressive reputation as a wildlife painter, participating in shows at major galleries in the
central and western United States. However, Lemon Swindle became increasingly discontent,
feeling artistically and spiritually unfulfilled. In October 1988 she reached a turning point when
she submitted a portrait of children to the National Arts for the Parks competition and received
the coveted Founders' Favorite award. She realized then that there was an audience for her
portrait painting and by the early 1990s she had devoted herself to the topic closest to her
heart: her faith. A one-woman show of her Christian art traveled to cities nationwide in the
summer of 1997 and a book of her paintings, "She Shall Bring Forth a Son" was published in
1998.
