In celebration of Women’s Equality Day August 26,2020, Zions Bank sponsored artist Jann Haworth to create a 5000 square foot mural featuring 250 prominent Utah women.  Susan is honored to be featured alongside such trailblazing women leaders in our community. 

Susan Swartz Studios is pleased to announce the upcoming dedication of Swartz’s latest commission, Zion’s Glow, a 72x72” acrylic on linen painting. Commissioned by Zions Bank, this large-scale painting is a gift to Zion National Park in honor of its Centennial year.

Anytime a new gallery opens its doors, an unspoken invitation is issued to whet our palates on the delightful unknown. Beckoning to seasoned art collectors as well as those venturing into the art world for the first time, Modern West Fine Art seeks to further define the landscape of contemporary Western art and perhaps give us a glimpse of the future.

At the height of the Park City ski season, nestled in the ambient lower ballroom of the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley, the Kimball Art Center presents a salon which dances with light and color. Featuring a variety of work that speaks to every taste, the Winter Art Salon plays host to pieces by Susan Swartz, Dale Chihuly, Linda Lee Johnson, Alexandra Hart, Nelson Mandela and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales from February 21-23, 2014.

As the bright blooms of spring begin, one hue finally dominates the landscape around Susan’s studio in the Utah mountains: green. Susan is well accustomed to this annual shock of strong alpine color and has incorporated summer’s shade into many of her earlier works. Even so, a lifetime of mountain springs and ocean summers could not have prepared her for the particular and verdant hues of green that are native to Ireland.

One of Susan’s most rewarding efforts is the Christian Center of Park City (CCPC), which she and her husband, Jim, co-founded over 12 years ago. An inter-denominational community organization based in Susan’s home community of Park City, Utah, the CCPC aims to meet people at their point of need as an expression of God’s love.

Ladies: do you ever have trouble enticing your man into an art gallery or museum? Well Susan has a show for him…and you! Just roaring into Salt Lake City at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts is Speed: The Art of the Performance Automobile.

Susan recently completed an original commission for the new Zion’s Bank Financial Center in Provo, Utah. A longtime supporter of Susan’s work, Zion’s Bank dedicated the new eight-story building in May 2010, at which point the painting was revealed to the public.

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.”
