Herman Schwartz was an artist from Philadelphia and my grandfather. He was an inspiration to me and apparently passed his artistic gene to some of his great-grandchildren. HS became a reality after I spent my career in outside sales, while buying and selling antiques part-time, and decided it was time to make my passion a full time career. My two children, Carly, a florist (Flour LA) and Matthew, a photographer, suggested the gallery name.
