Ann Schwartz

I have always had a passion for the arts and have experimented in various mediums, but over fifteen years ago discovered a love for creating sculptures out of alabaster stone.  Working with direct carving, I find inspiration in the coloration and flow of the stone itself.  My sculptures reveal the female form, conveying a sense of movement with the subtle details of flowing fabric.  My visions emerge from the stone as I delve deeper into its core and only truly know what will appear with the final polishing.  I enjoy sharing my art and insist that people touch and caress them as they learn what can be created from within a stone.

Living in New Jersey for many years, I held several one-person shows as well as winning numerous awards in exhibitions in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Then five years ago, much to the dismay of my many collectors, I moved to the artistically prolific environment of south Florida where I had to once again start to establish my career.  I joined Women in the Visual Arts and the Boca Museum Artist Guild where I have happily shown my creations at their various exhibitions.  My work has been displayed at the Masterpiece Gallery in Boca Raton, the Danskin Galleries on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, and the Alexandre Gallery in Mizner Park in Boca Raton.

I am currently showing my work at The Women in the Visual Arts Gallery in Delray Beach.  Most recenlty, I won first place in Sculpture at the 11th Annual Courtyard Juried Exhibition for my Collage Column (or kiosk) "Just Add Water" and second place for my sculpture “A New Beginning” at the Boca Museum Artist Guild.  I also sold a sculpture through BMAG called “A Dream Come True” and that certainly defines how I feel about the art world in Florida.
