Heather Schwartz

Heather Schwartz

Assistant Director

Heather Schwartz’s background is in Pension and Retirement benefits working at Black Mountain Management for clients’ Human Resource departments.

Heather has explored her creative side at AR Workshop in Port Washington as an instructor assisting students in construction of home décor crafts using wood, canvas, acrylics, stain, and stencils. She also spent time in an administrative position at the Port Washington Union Free School District before coming to The Art Guild.

I love the comfortable “homey” feel of The Art Guild.  It is a pleasure to work in such a creative environment with a collaborative, friendly staff, surrounded by works of art from many talented artists.

Heather and her husband live in Port Washington with their three children and dog.

Heather loves to construct crafts using wood, stain and acrylic paint, drawing and coloring with pencil and gel pens, and sewing pillow covers and furniture reupholstering. Some of her favorite crafts were building dollhouses for her daughters!
