M’ria Swire is a visual artist from South Florida and currently lives in Plant City, Florida. As a kid, she started out painting cartoon puppies and that has evolved into an exploration of herself as an artist, using life changes, challenges, and opportunities as a catalyst for pushing the boundaries of her creativity.

In this episode of Project Popsicle, Bert and Nipa listen to M’ria as she discusses the importance of community. In the creative process, she is driven by her emotions, connection, music, and the freedom of being spontaneous. She shares her ideas about how she uses color, movement and what it means to her, and how it shows up in her art. So, sit back and enjoy M’ria Swire as she takes us into her world of art and hopefully, it will inspire you to create your world.
