Karen Schwartz is an artist whose initial sharing of work in Atlanta, Georgia has been received
with a placement in public collection, sales at charity art auctions and private commission.
Her multimedia portraits on paper and canvas of personally known
and cultural figures are up-close studies that create psychological
impact with a distinctive use of line and color. Schwartz's
experience as a clinical psychologist practicing psychotherapy for
20 years reflects an enduring passion and respect for personal
idiosyncrasy that characterizes her portrait work. Her trust in what
"eyes and hand will tell you about my subjects" embodies a risk that
pays off in works of honesty and boldness.
