Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
Francesca Schwartz is an artist and psychoanalyst based in New York. Her artwork is informed by a fascination with the materiality and metaphors of the female body. Schwartz works in a range of mixed media processes encompassing painting, sculpture, photography, and collage, and her diverse materials include paint, inks, dyes, wax, bone, textiles, and found objects. She has had solo exhibitions at Mu Gallery, Chicago, IL, 2022; Studio 1608, Miami, FL, 2018; and online solo shows with Women United Art Movement in 2024 and M. David & Co. Gallery in 2021. Her group exhibitions this year include “Orpheus & Eurydice” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” at Lichtundfire, NY, and “The 108th Annual Juried Exhibition” at Greenwich Art Society, CT, at which she received the GAS Award for Oil/Acrylic for her piece “Bleed (Out).” Art fairs that have featured her work include Works on Paper, 2021; Market, Art and Design, 2021; and The Other Art Fair, 2021.
