About Us

Phyllis Schwartz

I use the photographic process as an investigative tool. I move through the world slowly, freezing time and magnifying the moment. It brings me up close to events, people objects and ideas. My passion for spare poetry draws me to photographers like Ansel Adams, Imogene Cunningham and Edward Weston artist who inform me about light and show how to observe the elements. My work is an inquiry into the nature of permanence and impermanence. It asks, “What remains?” Attracted to the serendipity of the photography process, for more than thirty years, I have played with many photographic techniques: black and white, colour, digital and alternative process. I am a photographer poet on a journey in quest of poetic imagery. My current lumen prints are photogenic drawings made by a contact print process using organic materials that leave traces and shadows on photosensitive surfaces. These monoprints are made without a camera or darkroom enlarger.

I have over the years experimented and produced works of art in many mediums. A few years ago I made the transition into digital photography and this has been a transformative experience. I find myself in the middle of an artistic renaissance that allows an artist vast possibilities for the creation and execution of images. There is a flow to digital photography that moves beyond the technical elements, allowing an interaction with the environment that is instinctive and timeless; in which colours, shapes, designs and tones emerge to transform perceptions into something extraordinary.I have been creating and studying art for almost forty years. I have a BA/BFA and a MA in counselling psychology. I have created works in batik, silkscreen, etchings, line drawings, oil and acrylic painting, temperas, cloisonné, fresco, photography, short film, books, digital images, watercolour, and I am sure a few more. I have also studied under Tony Onley, Richard Prince, Lionel Thomas, Gordon Smith and others.
