About the artist and project
Swirly is the artist persona of Sean Hurley (b. 1997), working in multiple disciplines of pencil drawing, oil painting, film photography, and writing. Working in Austin, TX, she primarily studies at Atelier Dojo under Nate Seay and Pedro Carduso in 18th century École des Beaux Arts methods and charcoal drawing.
Before starting at the Atelier in 2025, Sean was mentored by a community of professional artists and self guided in her artistic practice. Thank you to Madeline Pearl Hurley, Lara Hurley, Monika Kupiec, Rafael Cabrera, Elina Prettyman, Kandice Pierce, Lindsay Lou Howard, Samuel Thomas, Coty Ferrante, Dr. Brianne Bilsky, LTC Yoonie Dunham, and many more for support over the years.
