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.

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.

Photogravure 6.5 x 8.25 in. w/frame 11.25 x 11.25 in. I am intrigued by the way our hands express our authentic selves. I photographed the women in my family, holding small but suggestive objects, this is my sister Liz, holding a root, I dug up from my garden and cleaned. She holds it tenderly, my heart in her hands. The process is photogravure, a painstaking but beautiful process of turning a photograph into an etching. I have this print, an edition of 3, framed and unframed.

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.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.I believe the connection between an artist and their viewer is possible through the recognition of familiar imagery. 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"

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"

SoldMixed 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.
