SUNG FROM THE HEART Audrey Swift
FINDING YOUR ART WITH
What’s the first music you remember hearing? Was it the theme song of a sitcom on TV? The radio in your granddad’s pickup? A loved one singing a lullaby? For Audrey Swift, one of The Newsletter Pro’s prized designers, the earliest music she can remember is Creedence Clearwater Revival.
explains. “I can clearly remember the song ‘Lookin’ Out My Back Door’ about tambourines and elephants playing in a band. When I looked out our back door, I imagined elephants playing music and being in a circus outside!” Audrey’s unique way of viewing the world, much like her vibrant laugh, is unmatched at The Newsletter Pro headquarters. Music and imagination remain part of her life, from the time her mother bought Audrey her first record player at a yard sale to when she was buying her own albums from local thrift stores. The art on the record covers fascinated Audrey as much as the music hidden inside. “I love music posters. If I had my way, I’d spend my life creating music posters for all different kinds of bands,” Audrey says. “In fact, when I needed to figure out my career, I thought, ‘Hey, I draw a lot. And I like making posters. I should make a living doing that!’”

While newsletters aren’t exactly music posters, Audrey takes joy in what she’s able to create. “This is art to me. I get to create something new and help people solve a problem. They’re trying to get their message across visually about who they are and what their business is. When I’m able to take all the information someone gives me and get their design just right, I couldn’t be happier!” In addition to the art Audrey creates for her clients, she also practices her skill in other areas. She has designed album art for her husband’s band, painted portraits of some of our team’s beloved pets, and written songs on her ukulele. Audrey goes out of her way to make the world a little brighter any way she can. If you are looking for a genuine work of art, look no farther than Audrey Swift!
