Dear Reader,

I’m Rob Swift, a legally blind artist based in St. Paul, Minnesota. I specialize in realistic landscape paintings, using texture, memory, and emotion to bring natural scenes to life in a way that goes beyond what the eyes can see.

My journey as an artist began just three years ago, after becoming disabled. What started as a personal outlet quickly grew into a powerful form of expression and connection. Painting has become not only my passion but my purpose — a way to inspire, uplift, and offer hope to others navigating their own challenges.

Despite the limitations of my vision, I strive to capture the beauty, depth, and feeling of the world around us. My work has been featured in galleries across Minnesota, California, and even the Philippines — a testament to how far a message of resilience and creativity can travel.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my art and my story. I hope it reminds you that even in darkness, there is still light — and still so much beauty to create.
