David Swartz
Landscape Painter


A new resident of the West Reading area, David is beyond thankful to have a studio space that he shares with his fiancé. He is a graduate of Kutztown University with a BFA-concentration painting. He has worked with Keystone Human Services for over four years in mental health and autism services. David has exhibited artwork in various locations that include Art of the State, PA Watercolor Society, Monmouth Museum, and Red Raven Art Company as a visiting artist. He features artwork at New Holland Coffee Company, Lititz Slate Café, and Prince Street Café-Lancaster in January 2022.

Artist Statement
“The goal that I’m working towards in my artwork is to create an image that captures emotion and narrative. Vacant structures, places of business or worship, backyards, and front porches each display their own narrative and emotion in subtle ways. The extraordinary variety of places of worship in PA reflects early religious freedom in the state. One of my visual challenges is capturing a piece of the spirituality and unique energy of the PA landscape. PA offers an inspiring scene that is often forested, industrial, and historical.

"Watercolor’s transparency and reflection of light from the surface most often connects with my visual goal. Light, infrastructure, contrast, color temperature, nature, and various times of day inspire my artwork constantly. I am incredibly lucky and thankful for the unique opportunity to be an artist in this time and place. People who support and admire the local creative arts are sincerely appreciated.”
