Increasingly, I find myself at a nexus point between the practice of art and the pursuit of optimal health. My latest work is an expression of that exploration.

Today's forced seclusion and wake up call to stay healthy has once again granted me the luxury of time to ponder what really matters. The clarity that our seclusion affords is a gift and it motivates me to renew my pledge to truly appreciate, exalt, protect and preserve the beauty of nature through my art in every way I can.

This is why I paint.

Susan Swartz has had a busy and exciting year, highlighted by the opening of her eponymous art gallery.

Susan Swartz Studios, located at 260 Main Street, Park City, officially opened its doors on February 9th. It features paintings spanning the past 15 years of Swartz’s career –- her signature aspen works as well as her new, modern abstract pieces. The gallery has received much praise and has helped further Swartz’s reputation. It provides a beautiful and tranquil space for contemplative appreciation of Swartz’s relation with her art and the natural world.
