Carolyn Swiszcz: New Suburban Mysteries


On View: February 9, 2018 – March 24, 2018
Opening Reception: Friday, February 9, 2018 from 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm

Highpoint is proud to present Carolyn Swiszcz: New Suburban Mysteries, a survey of unique watercolor monoprints the artist created at Highpoint Editions. Swiszcz has mastered the art of shining a rose-colored spotlight on the everyday with her playful style. As an avid creator, Swiszcz turns mundane suburban scenery into jewel-toned landmarks in her multimedia artistic practice, which ranges from music videos to zines to paintings.

The artist lives in West St. Paul and she often finds artistic inspiration in her day-to-day life. The monoprints in this exhibition feature places around the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area, such as Rocco’s Pizza in West St. Paul, Mai’s Deli in the Hmong Village Marketplace, and the Shamrock Shopping Plaza in St. Paul.
