Artist Statement:
Each face I see is a temporary
work of art waiting to be
modeled into a state of
permanency.
Born in 1960, the last child
of 8, my love of sculpting
developed at an early age when
I discovered that I could make
figures out of the clay soil
of the hot Mojave desert and
that they would dry to a state
of permanency when left out in
the scalding sun.
My mother, Betty Schwartz, is
still an active oil painter
now in her 80's and has her
works in galleries along the
beautiful Oregon coast.
Specifically, Newport, Or. I
dabbled at painting and
drawing in my youth - winning
several awards at the county
fair for my pen and ink works
- but never developed a knack
for mixing color. 3 dimension
just seemed to come more
naturally. Besides, though
I've been told that I am
"thick skinned" by my
coworkers, I wouldn't have
taken the criticism very well
from my mother, who is quite a
remarkable painter.
I also have one brother, Mick
Schwartz, who has dedicated
his lifetime to making things
in clay. He lives in Paradise,
CA, and is an amazing potter.
I would love ...
