Artist Beth Ames Swartz is the subject of the half-hour long documentary-style film that gives us a glimpse at this important artist, who has been creating artworks that are feminist in nature reflecting upon her interest in the spiritual for over 55 years. She has produced an outstanding body of work that demonstrates a highly developed sense of texture and color while employing a variety of imagery, gestural marks, shapes, and words throughout. Highlights include amazing abstract paintings filled with vibrant colors, patterns and textures that “explore systems of knowledge by translating philosophical concepts into aesthetic visual experiences”, states Swartz.
She resides and works in Paradise Valley, Arizona and she has an extensive background in the arts with degrees from Cornell and NYU. Through the course of her career Swartz’s style has continuously evolved and she has accumulated an impressive resume with over 70 solo exhibitions in both museums and galleries around the world.
Swartz and her work have been featured in numerous print and online publications in addition to receiving numerous awards, including the prestigious Arizona Governor's Individual Artist Award. Currently Swartz is represented by the ACA Galleries in New York and her artwork can be found in many public and private collections around the nation including the Brooklyn Museum, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and the Phoenix Art Museum.
