They also hang in important private collections. His work has been on magazine covers and in museum shows. His works are sold all over the world and are being shown in European Galleries. His posters are very popular and for more than 4 decades, he has been creating paintings with the intention of capturing the total experience of nature and with a focus on achieving unique textural imagery and superb technique. His art is availed mainly as framed Albert Swayhoover art, though other finishing options are also available. Forsaking the traditional brushes, the artist is committed to using the painting knife, and a series of knives. He also strives for structured composition that are beautiful and with modulating of impastos and subtle shifts of color to create on canvas an immediate environmental experience.
