Marjorie Schwartz is an abstract painter who brings the looseness of watercolor to acrylics and oils. She has studied with Melanie Delgado and Meredith Rosier at the Woodstock School of Art and Cissy Marks at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Schwartz views life as an open, richly creative process and assists others toward this end as a clinical psychologist in private practice. She lives and works in the Catskills and New York City. This is her first solo show. 

“Perennial”

That which blooms again, again 

impresses on the heart to lend 

a secret to the captive eye 

whispered into circle sky

Light invites a reckless glee 

insisting on periphery

colors splinter, forms unveil

wing-snap of a nightingale

Animated swarming power 

spilling forth from every flower 

blossoms tremble, petals vibrate 

murmurating cosmos migrate 

You and I are flowers teeming 

bursting in our sunlit gleaming 

evanesce for evermore

petals fall, and spirits soar
