Backbay by Gerald Schwartz

Gerald Schwartz

Creativity was something that started early with me. Born in Brooklyn, New York at 8 years of age, my family all moved to California. Sure, I played with clay, scissors & paper, like most children do, but it was when I explored drawing. I was drawing just about everything I saw, it was irresistible! At age 16, I decided to investigate what I could do with painting. Being able to put color to my drawings was an exciting addition to my vision of the world around me. The application allowed me to see the magical possibilities in my painting. There are times when I just love to lay back on the grass and stare at the atmosphere above, imagining the gradations of colors in the clouds and sky. The atmosphere, the light, the shadows, all are elements for compositions I feel inside of me. This is what I want to explore, this is what I want to express. Now I’m a resident of AZ, painting like a madman.
