Carly Schwartz is a Pacific Northwest and Southern California-based artist heavily influenced by beauty wherever it is found in nature, architecture, interior design, fashion, and her world travels. As a Seattle native, Carly realized her penchant for art at a young age and continues to create in many mediums. Her deep connection to her hometown has facilitated her passion for capturing life through the lens of her camera.

While attending The Cornish Art School, Carly studied Life Drawing under the highly respected and controversial artist, William Cummings, and Metal Sculpture under Bob Stanton. Motivated to learn many techniques, she studied interior design, glass blowing, and printmaking. Heeding the call to expand her studies in pottery, Carly headed to Denver, Colorado to learn the art of slab rolling and wheel throwing. After moving to Los Angeles and starting her interior design business, Carly continued her studies at the Art Center of Los Angeles, The Getty Museum in Santa Monica, and UCLA to further develop her craft in mediums such as photography, watercolors, and acrylics.

Carly’s travels around the globe have enabled her to blend her passions for photography and beauty. Her work has been featured at Ascendant New York as part of a private collection. Her most recent series centers around her world travels, capturing moments in time that create a visual escape.
