Sobre el Artista


Mireille SWINNEN is Belgian by nationality but has lived abroad all her adult life.

Every year, Mireille organizes exhibitions and international workshops in Venice, Spilimbergo, Rome or France (Paray-le-Monial) and California bringing much-needed foreign exposure and new techniques to her most dedicated students. Over the past few years, Mireille has specialized in animal and human portraits in the preferred medium of her choice, smalti. Her work has been selected for various shows and exhibits, SAMA Chicago, SAMA Seattle, the yearly exhibit in Paray-le-Monial and multiple private exhibitions. On the basis her latest body of work, Mireille was appointed as the 2014 Artist in Residence at the Museum of Glass, Tacoma, a promise of new skills and possibilities which she hopes to incorporate in her future mosaics.
