ARTFIX Daily, one of the web’s most widely read art news publications, recently featured Susan in a substantial article that focused on her upcoming solo exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Earlier in the month, the publication offered a positive review of Susan’s work at Art Sarasota, and now this five-page feature article is incredibly supportive.

Are you ready for the big news? We’re so excited to tell you that we can’t hold it in any longer: Susan is being honored with a special solo exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) in Washington, D.C.

What an incredible start to the New Year! First, three films that Susan helped produce premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival to great reviews. Before the credits finished rolling, Susan’s first solo shows in Florida opened at Art Palm Beach and Art Sarasota.

Susan’s recent solo exhibition at the Springville Museum of Art brings to mind her first showing of the Natural Revelations exhibition at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) in 2008. Wrote UMFA museum director, David Dee: “While grounded in the real world of nature, Susan Swartz’s work also connects us to the pure energy and devotion to color that have characterized abstract art from the mid twentieth century.”

Susan Swartz creates vibrant landscape paintings from her studio in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. An official artist of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, she is well known to public and private collectors alike, and just wrapped a solo exhibition at the Springville Museum of Fine Arts in Utah. There is an underlying energy and tension to Susan’s work that hints of her complex relationship with the natural environment. “Mankind’s carelessness with the natural world has had a very personal effect on me,” she explains. “Twice I have struggled environmentally caused illnesses.”
