Born and raised in Germany, Schwarz studied sculpture and visual arts in Stuttgart and Berlin. In 1990, she was awarded a fellowship in studio art at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, where she worked with the well-known artist and longtime faculty member Karl Bethke. It was during this time that she discovered her enthusiasm and talent for the art of printmaking. Since then, she has worked both in Germany and the United States, producing prints at various fine art presses, including the renowned Universal Limited Art Editions in West Islip, New York and most recently at the Wildwood Press in Saint Louis, Missouri. In addition to her activities as a professional artist, Schwarz has taught graphic art at the Freie Kunstschule Berlin and the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste Saar in Saarbrücken, Germany. She has also lectured on printmaking in Chicago, Boston, Saint Louis, Minneapolis, and Salzburg, Austria.

In addition, her graphic work can be found in many public and private collections, including the State Museums of Berlin; Staatsgalerie Stuttgart; the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts; the New York Public Library; the Milwaukee Art Museum.
