When Sherry Armstead of Fairfield’s Art on Symmes learned that paintings by Grace Ann Schwab were about to be destroyed due to lack of appropriate storage space, she purchased the majority of them, over 600 works. The vibrant oils and watercolors, created between 1940 and 1973, reflect time spent on the west and east coasts of the United States and in Sienna, Italy where Miss Schwab studied guitar with Andres Segovia.

It is believed that Miss Schwab stopped painting due to phobias regarding the paint materials. About 70 of her paintings have been purchased from Art on Symmes in the past 2 years. Miss Schwab receives a royalty for each sale. She currently lives in a retirement home in Fairfield Township where she undergoes treatment for Alzheimer’s.

The Fitton Center is excited about working with Art on Symmes to develop an exhibition of Grace Ann Schwab’s gorgeous paintings. Projected gallery space for this exhibition is the Bever West Gallery and adjacent 2nd floor lobby area.


This will be a great event. Please stop by to see this showing of Grace A Schwab’s work.
