Our Next Show
Featured Artist: Beth Schwartz
"The Holiday Show"
Beth Schwartz is a Baltimore-based mixed media artist as well as a retired pathologist, art history nerd, world traveler, and aficionado of great literature. These eclectic interests unite into a unique visual voice. My art incorporates hand-cut collage, acrylic paint, altered photographs, clay, beads, and whatever odds and ends find their way into my hellaciously messy studio. What comes out the other end is a dizzying array of boxes, journals, wall pieces, assemblages, cards, and prints. Mixed media gives me an enormous sandbox to play in as each piece evolves.
My decisions about materials and process are made in service to a concept or image that intrigues me. In my paintings, rich visual layers engage the eye and invite the viewer in. Whether I paint a canvas, collage an upcycled cigar box or build an assemblage, my goal is to create unique art that provokes thought or laughter.
Since 2015, my artwork has been in galleries and craft shows in the Baltimore/DC area, and I have been selling from my website, www.BethSchwartz.Studio. A percentage of my sales is always donated to Baltimore’s Health Care for the Homeless.
