About Tori Swanson
Hi, I’m Tori Swanson—a Canadian artist living in Portugal. I’m a painter and textile artist exploring themes of femininity, spirituality, and emotional depth through intuitive, expressive work.
My journey began with figure drawing, capturing the essence of the human form through intimate, hour-long sessions that doubled as safe spaces for storytelling and reflection. Over the years, my practice has expanded into bold abstract paintings and textile-based sculptures inspired by my environment, inner world, and spiritual upbringing.
I currently teach Intuitive Painting and Life Drawing classes in my Porto studio—spaces designed to reconnect you to your creativity, intuition, and sense of play. Whether you're here to explore self-expression or just try something new, you're warmly welcome.
