Custom Portraits & Original Digital Prints
The story and passion behind CB Swartz Art
Hello! I'm CB Swartz, an artist specializing in custom charcoal portraits and digital art. My journey as an artist began at an early age, drawing everything from family pets to landscapes. What started as a childhood passion has evolved into a lifelong dedication to capturing the essence and personality of my subjects through art.
With over 15 years of experience in portraiture, I've developed a distinctive style that combines technical precision with emotional depth. I believe that a truly great portrait goes beyond mere likeness—it captures the spirit and character of the subject in a way that resonates with viewers.
My work has been featured in local galleries and exhibitions, and I've had the privilege of creating custom portraits for clients across the country. Each commission is a unique opportunity to tell a story and preserve a special memory.
I approach each portrait with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to capturing what makes each subject unique. Whether I'm working on a pet portrait, a family portrait, or a memorial piece, I strive to create artwork that evokes emotion and connection.
My process begins with understanding your vision and what you hope to capture in the portrait. I work closely with clients throughout the creation process, providing updates and seeking feedback to ensure the final piece exceeds expectations.
When I'm not in the studio, you might find me exploring nature for inspiration, visiting art museums, or teaching drawing workshops in my community. I believe in the power of art to connect people and tell stories that words alone cannot express.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my passion with others and to create meaningful artwork that will be treasured for generations to come.
