CAROL SCHWARTZ
STATEMENT AND RESUME
Summary
Carol Schwartz is a figurative sculptor who captures both strength and innocence in the people and objects she sculpts. Architecturally trained, her attachment to the building process is evident in her methods of construction. Her work gives us visual and intellectual stimulation in the way they are made and in how they make us think.
