Carolyn Swiszcz

Born and raised in New Bedford, MA, Carolyn Swiszcz followed an older brother to the midwest, earning a BFA in printmaking at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Carolyn is renowned for making uncanny yet affectionate suburban landscapes, employing a wide range of painting and printmaking techniques, vibrant colors, and distinctive patterns. Carolyn’s proclivity for experimentation has also led her to create songs, music videos, and animations. She currently publishes a mail-order zine, Zebra Cat Zebra. 

Carolyn’s work has been exhibited at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery in New York, Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minneapolis, and Steven Zevitas Gallery in Boston. Her prints have been published by Highpoint Editions in Minneapolis. She is a recipient of the Jerome, McKnight, Bush, and Minnesota State Arts Board artist fellowships.
