Schwarz Karst Studio
Original Oil, Acrylic, and Mixed Media Paintings
 
I was born, raised, educated, married, and taught high school visual art, all in the state of Montana. Consequently, I am deeply seeded in the open spaces and mountains of The Big Sky Country. This sense of space has greatly contributed to the art I produce today.
