Carly Schwartz is a Pacific Northwest- and Southern California–based artist whose work is deeply influenced by the beauty of nature, architecture, interior design, fashion, and world travel. A Seattle native, Carly discovered her passion for art at a young age and has continued to explore and create across a variety of artistic mediums. Her deep connection to her hometown fostered an early appreciation for visual storytelling and inspired her lifelong pursuit of capturing the world through the lens of her camera.

While attending Cornish College of the Arts, Carly studied Life Drawing under the highly respected artist William Cummings and Metal Sculpture under Bob Stanton. Driven by a desire to master a wide range of techniques, she also pursued studies in interior design, glassblowing, and printmaking. Seeking to expand her knowledge of ceramics, Carly traveled to Denver, where she studied slab construction and wheel throwing.

After relocating to Los Angeles and launching her interior design business, Carly continued her artistic education through coursework at the Art Center in Los Angeles, Getty Museum, and University of California, Los Angeles, further developing her skills in photography, watercolor, and acrylic painting.

In recent years, travel photography has become a central focus of her creative practice. This collection brings together images captured during her travels around the world, reflecting her fascination with culture, landscape, architecture, and the unique beauty she finds. Her work has been featured by Ascendant New York as part of a private collection.
