ANNE B. SCHWARTZ
Whereas most aleatoric art is created by nature, Anne B. Schwartz derives her palette from nature and depicts the earth's geological elements—raw minerals and uncut gems in their natural state, the cosmic elements that constitute our universe and the planets with their gaseous swirls and roiling atmospheric storms. Her work also captures the colors and shapes of the distant nebulae that contain the stardust from which all life originated.
Whether we speak of her impressionistic aerials or densely featured metallic surfaces based on precious metals found in cave walls, Schwartz’s paintings evolve over time and are always in flux as she adds layer upon layer of texture and color until the amassed material conveys the awesome power and scope of the heavenly bodies, or the beauty and richness of rare earth.
Anne Brawer Schwartz has exhibited her mixed media paintings in numerous exhibitions throughout Los Angeles County. In 2010, her work was published in the coffee table book "Santa Monica," featuring art inspired by the seaside city of Santa Monica, CA, published through Jeffrey Crussell Fine Art. She has received several awards for her work. Her paintings are in collections world wide. Giclee prints are available on line at Neiman Marcus, Horchow and at other fine retail stores. Anne frequently works with interior designers on commissions and sales. One of her paintings, "Piazza San Marco" is currently featured on the hit TV show "The Mindy Project" seen on Fox. Anne earned her Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design from the University of Oregon, and she also attended the Gemological Institute of America. Her background as a successful jewelry designer informs her fine art practice.
