Family Group (Variation VIII) Collage Size: 9 x 12 Family Group and Animated Forms are recurring themes in all my 2D and 3D work. My interest is in exploring the boundaries between representation and abstraction. I reduce the subjects to bold, simplified forms and create excitement, tension and often lots of space in the artwork. Form, color and texture became increasingly important in development of the collage, and man-made and natural materials like felt, suede, velvet, paper, sandpaper and copper were incorporated into the pieces. This is an exciting, intuitive and challenging way to work. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

acrylic on canvas 24 x 83 x 1.5" Dead Zone I, published in the print edition of the international literary an arts journal, Still Point Arts Quarterly XI, was inspired by media reports of agricultural and industrial runoffs occurring in deltas, estuaries, lakes, rivers and oceans worldwide. Add in climate change acidifying and warming the waters, the end results are low oxygen levels that lead to reproduction problems in sea life, reduction of the population of large fish and suffocation of marine life. There may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Scientists have stated that dead zones due to human activity are reversible if their causes are reduced or eliminated. Surely a challenge and an uphill battle.

mixed-media, aluminum, sculpted photo, fabric, fiber, encaustic wax and paper 20 x 18 x 5" “Rooted in Humanity” is a series of relief sculptures that records moments of humanity and issues of the environment, reflecting tensions within our current diverse and often divisive society. Inspiration for these works began with long walks in the woods examining nature’s design and detail. By exploring innovative methods and materials, Horowitz’s path is always evolving as are her techniques. Capturing body language, movement and how they relate to emotion and character are essential. Forms emerge from the earth, deeply rooted past struggles and growth. These works depict the human form both isolated and vulnerable and examine the frailty of the human condition.

Sculpture 15 x 15 x 3" In Figures Embracing, the delicate nature of humanity is portrayed through sculpted figures, creating haunting shadows as important as the physical beings. Capturing body language, movement and how they relate to emotion and character, reflect the human condition exposed in these works. Sculptures of wire mesh reveal figures whose existence is precarious. These copper sculptural works represent a time and place of isolation, where home, assimilation and community are important social issues relevant to our current climate. By penetrating façades, we look deeply into transparent figures seeing what lies in the shadows of the unseen and unspoken.

acrylic on canvas 36 x 36 x 1.5" My piece, "Irreconciliation," explores the uncomfortable experience of irreconcilability. In today's political climate, it is unfortunately an ever-present force. Through abstraction, the painting captures the dynamisms, complexities, contradictions and opposing forces resulting in irreconciliation, yet also depicts the seeds of possible conciliation, if only we could acknowledge them.

acrylic on canvas 24 x 36 x 1.5" In "Territory Unknown", I use abstraction to convey the notion and emotion of displacement. Given the pandemic, political acrimony and the ever-present refugee and immigrant experience, we can all relate to the sense of feeling displaced. This painting attempts to capture and evoke such feelings.

Sculpture Grasping for Air 18 x 24 x 2 in. I am attracted to both the flow of fabric and the elements of construction that transform an unstructured surface into a sculptured form that fits a human body. Seams, edgings, buttons, zippers and all the other ways that cloth becomes clothing find their way into my current body of work. Like an abstract painting, my work emerges from a process of deconstructing and then reassembling the fractured elements from my collection of discarded clothing. I hand stitch the garment fragments into a low relief sculpture, then solidify the surface by applying multiple layers of canvas priming gesso.

Alas . . . I Knew Him, Horatio Acrylic on Fabric Size of Piece: 13 x 12 x 4 I choose articles of clothing for my images in an intuitive manner. For this work, I dissected a man's dress shirt, then reassembled and stitched the pieces into a composition that felt aesthetically pleasing. I discovered that it reminded me of the scene where Hamlet contemplates the skull of Yorick. In this case the relic is an everyday article of clothing that may be resurrected in the future.

Hey Will You Look At Her Now! Collage Size of Piece: 30 x 22 Framed Size: 33 x 25 Working in collage allows for free association. I use vintage periodical and book images to create discrete worlds merging image, color, and placement. I play with concepts and redefine reality, combining their elements intuitively sometimes with an idea of what I want to achieve and sometimes just letting the elements drive the image, one thing leading to another. There is always something of a surrealist element to collage, letting logic and reality go. In these two images, I tweak the idea of the "proper" woman to let the viewer know she may not be quite who you want her to be.

Wildfires happen every year where I live in California. They are scary and even if they’re not too close by, the air gets polluted with ash and smoke. Panic was inspired by the ongoing wildfires the year this was made. Hand embroidery gives me options that other mediums do not. Sewing and growing an image, stitch by stitch, adds to its narrative. The long process of stitching an encroaching fire, roiling water, or a flooded landscape raises the drama. The process of hand embroidery is engrossing and exciting. Including the weave and textures of the background textile into the piece adds to the possibilities. The potential of this medium draws me into my studio every day.

I Never Told Anyone Encaustic and Graphite on Carved Basswood Size of Piece: 65 x 60 x 60 My work has always been figurative and focuses on the negative impact of contemporary culture on women and girls' self-image and identity. I Never Told Anyone: is based on research and interviews with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I carved these figures in wood from sketches I made from direct observation and from my imagination. Each piece refers directly to one individual narrative reiterating when the abuse started, I stenciled that age at the base of each piece, and distilled the titles down to that one word my subject kept repeating, I was so humiliated, I was so frightened, I am so ashamed, guilt, insult, injury, denial.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.This piece is inspired by my mother’s loss of independence towards the end of her life. We exchanged letters and I used them as text over my image to cope with her circumstances and projection towards my own. I did some research into my background and based some of my texts on these family secrets; both mine and others. I explore the changing relationships of parenthood, family, identity, love and loss, and am always concerned with the downward social spiral I see around me. I find I use artmaking as a means of negotiating a way through some of the irreconcilable behaviors I encounter in myself and in the world around me.photopolymer lithograph with chine collé 25 x 33"

It's the process and the immediate nature of my painting that is satisfying. I painted "After Dark' from my memory of the field near home. I'm happy to have my landscape painting in the 135th NAWA exhibition to highlight the contemporary landscape genre. Partly, because, my inspiration comes from nature and my predecessors, Nell Blaine, Rosa Bonheur, Joan Mitchell, women landscape painters overlooked for their contribution. “- Lully Schwartz 2024oil on linen 30 x 30 x 1.5"

oil on linen 30 x 30" In the work titled 'Chapter One' a young child faces a group of animals. As I painted the colors became brighter and the subject matter representational rather than exacting. In the end I saw this to be a bit of an autobiographical piece as most of my work is. However, the narrative is open to interpretation.

While presenting most challenges for the artist, traditional realism is the easiest way to ensure that connection. Realism is not a thing from the past that only belongs in museums but rather a clear, eloquent language that can get a contemporary message across, be serious or whimsical, humorous, or even playful.Oil on panel 7 x 13"

Using the frottage technique, I am imagining these spaces as absorbing part of the energy of those who might sit in that chair, in a sense carrying a 'memory' of that person. The "#14" in the title refers to a particular bent wood style chair, now ubiquitous, first designed in 1859 in France and known since then as "Number 14."graphite 27 x 23 x 1"

Cut and Paste Encaustic Size: 12 x 12 I have used the chair as my motif of choice in most of my work, drawing on its use as a metaphor for the human being and human nature. The artwork "Cut And Paste" was created as I was thinking about how the chair travels; that no matter where we find ourselves, no matter the environment the chair will always be be there, marking our place. "Prototype" is heavily layered, scraped and collaged as I explored the basic shape and ubiquitous quality of the chair throughout the history of mankind.

oil pastel on yupo 7.5 x 7.5" Using collage, I explore memory, perception and the layering of one upon the other. There is a layered history to the collage pieces used as they are remnants taken from another artwork. The nicks, smudges and reductive linework of these pieces are expanded upon, adding to the developing narrative. The chair is my motif of choice. As a ubiquitous presence in our day to day lives, it has rich metaphorical meaning. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

These mixed media dreamscapes are constructed on tactile substrates such as my paintings, handcrafted papers, fabrics, monoprints, photographs, antique books and wallpaper. Adding and subtracting the elements randomly, I then glue, sew, paint, and manipulate them into a slowly evolving composition. Layered with patterns and symbols, metaphor and archetypes I unite often- disparate worlds into new relationships—compositions and artworks that reveal the interconnectedness of nature, life, spirit and time.collage with mixed media 21 x 19"

Jules
Size: 24 x 18
Framed Size: 25 x 19
“Strong” and “Woman” These principles come together in Jules, my muse for a season. During this season of collaboration, Jules became an artist alongside me, using her body to share her story—our story as women—of resilience and choices made. For this piece, I chose monochrome to emphasize form and lines: her feminine jawline and curl given to her by nature combined with her powerful muscles developed by her choices. By combining the photograph with encaustic wax, I sought to combine the physicality of the wax and texture with the physicality of her presence and inner beauty.

Mixed Media Red Skirt 12 x 18 x 1 in. Movement, ecstasy, yearning-all are revealed in the dance! Fascinated, I find the dancer-art leading me to look at my creativity with new eyes. As a photographer, I start each piece with a camera, portraying an impressionist view of the dance. In this piece, I noticed details of her hand and her flaring skirt. I print and embed the image in encaustic wax, then listen to it tell its tale. As I spend time with it, I add encaustic wax to build layers, also using other media. This tactile approach connects me deeply to the work. This body of work has challenged me to grow as an artist and human. I feel myself asked to look into my very soul to rediscover the multiple facets of my own humanity.

welded steel scraps 30 x 12 x 12" This figure is the first in a series of ten that I started in 2021. I am concerned about families in flight - cloaked in dignity and hope under impossible conditions. Garments in tatters are implied by steel scraps, long legs bowed head indicate a will to continue. I believe art may give the viewer a chance to pause and consider stories in the world that are difficult, that it helps us see through the cracks of the world we live in, and instills empathy.

oil 10 x 10" All I ever wanted to be was smaller. I’ve found refuge from this compulsive desire by allowing myself space in the work. In my body of work, autobiographical paintings depict tender moments from my day to day life. Portraits of my partner and I provide queer representation void of hyper sexualized or traumatic imagery, with this I begin to disrupt heteronormative narratives, and provide images of queer joy. In focusing on the figure through a queer feminine gaze I create colorful and carefully composed oil paintings that allow bodies that are often asked to shrink, a place to be vulnerable and take up space. Candid photos often acting as my source material allow insecurities to penetrate the most loving of works. Through eye level and framing the casual nature of the references invites the viewer in as a participant rather than a voyeur. There is sympathy and authenticity to the rendering of each subject, with careful consideration put into capturing the volume of the forms. My emphasis is always on the sense of touch, creating works that are tender and where each push and pull of the skin is felt. Thoughtfully placed line and vivid color works to exploit the most tense areas of the work, helping each to feel uncomfortably intimate.

I aim to connect viewers with the power of biblical words through the motif of flowers. The artwork Spiritual Thirst is a visual interpretation of biblical words through the flower image. I digitally created this piece by arranging cut tulips on the lifeless place surrounded by water droplets. The tulips represent our yearning for the living water that Jesus offers us for eternal life.digital art on metal 24 x 18 x 1"

digital art on metal print 30 x 24 x 1" My artwork is a pictorial depiction of abstract words in spiritual concepts through the use of flower forms. By utilizing a central floral motif, I create digital images that place the flowers in a simulated environment, conveying the spiritual ideas and materializing them through digital alterations. For the artwork "Spiritual Birth," I chose a tropical flower that I captured in a photo on a trip to Florida. Its striking shape and vibrant colors inspired in me the idea of a spiritual awakening, which is an essential component of spiritual rebirth.
