Albert Swayhoover in 2002:
Painting for me is the essence of life. And I have been fortunate to have been able to pursue it for most of my life.  This is my 41st year as a fine artist, and I want to thank all the collectors that have purchased my work over the years; you have made my life as a fine artist possible.  I continue to paint; it’s still rewarding, and I hope, just as creative.
