Madelyn E. Schwartz (1923-2013) was a Brooklyn-born artist who developed a unique style of abstract impressionistic painting characterized by softly muted tones inspired by nature. A graduate of Brooklyn College, she was encouraged to paint upon meeting her future husband, artist Fred R. Schwartz. As an exhibiting member of Burr Artists, Madelyn's work has been shown at New York galleries including the Cort Gallery at Lincoln Center, Broome Street Gallery, Lever House, The Venezuelan Consulate Gallery, and the Synagogue of the Arts. Alongside her artistic practice, she maintained a career in early childhood education, serving as a field representative for the Head Start and Follow-Through programs.
