About Joan Schwartz

After going to the Hacienda since 2005, and thinking I died and went to “art heaven”, I’m delighted to teach a one-of-a-kind workshop of
my own. 
Several years after I started working in mosaics, I realized it had
become a seriously important part of my life. It’s not just the end
product but the process itself. It is my mental vacation, a journey
in which I get lost in an array of colors, patterns and materials… a
viable antidote to stress. It is truly a drug to which I now know I
am addicted. When I can’t get down to my studio, I feel out of
sync, irritable, and just plain unhappy!
Mosaics has offered me opportunities to travel all over the world,
expanding my education, by taking workshops with the most
notable instructors, and making life-long, like-minded friends.
A few notable things worth mentioning:
* I have works abroad as well as in the US.
* I’ve participated in many group projects, and charitable works.
* I have been juried into Art Prize twice
* I have been juried into MAI (Mosiac Arts International) 4 times.
* With tons of help, in 2017 I hosted the SAMA conference in
Detroit, MI.
* Chosen for 2020 residency program at the Olive Stack Gallery,
in Listowel, Ireland, with Anabella Wewer
I’m looking forward to sharing my passion with you and all I have
learned over the years.
