Image of Caroly Swiszcz at work on a watercolor monoprint.

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 more traditional paintings.

Swiszcz’s work has been exhibited at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, The Drawing Center, Highpoint Center for Printmaking, Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery in New York, Steven Zevitas Gallery in Boston, and The Corcoran Gallery of Art. She is a recipient of the Jerome, McKnight, and Bush artist fellowships. She lives in West Saint Paul, MN.

Swiszcz lives and works in West St. Paul, MN. She is represented by Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery (New York).
