The Rhythm of Nature series is distinguished by its tight, repetitive, staccato-like texture. This new technique yields paintings topped with acute, distinct qualities reminiscent of scales – both musical and aquatic in definition. The series utilizes minimalistic color pallets with broad strokes, sweeping and scraping in soft focus. Swartz finds inspiration for both her artistic texture and color in the natural environment and in the atmospheric elements of classical music.
