Portfolio

At SWP Artists LLC, storytelling is more than creation — it’s connection. Each project represents a different rhythm of our collective voice: from fiction and film to animation, performance, and children’s literature.

Founded by sw prothro, our portfolio explores layered identities, community, and resilience — blending humor, realism, and heart across mediums. These works invite collaboration, conversation, and creative experimentation.

Below, you’ll find our current and forthcoming projects, each reflecting the values that drive our art: empathy, imagination, and truth.
