AROUND TOWN Story and photo by Dorothea Snyder -.__A_W_h_o_le_Li_fe_t_im_e ___,I~

The exquisite fine lines in Cara Schwartz's pen and ink drawings reflect her appreciation of history. The Connecticut artist specializes in custom designed notecards of residential, commercial and marine portraits, theatres and historic landmarks, genre scenes, and now, houses of worship. Surrounded by trees and tranquility, Cara and her husband Mel's home in Madison is a perfect setting for an artist to work without interruption except for time and thoughts shared with an invited visitor. Like most artists, Cara's first interest was seascapes. "The sea was my first love; water is so relaxing. I never was that much into landscapes. " People always fascinated me," she said ·elaborating about her portrait work. "A portrait has deeper meaning than just features. A good photograph can capture the likeness, but when I do a portrait in pastels or oils, I need more than what I see on the surface. I need and want to know that person by spending time together." Cara 's feeling for buildings is the same. "They're more than a casual acquaintance. I'm always interested in finding out as much as I ca n about the building's history. " It's the same when I do a person's American artist Cara - Carolyn Lee Parmer-Klein Schwartz. home. Meet the peopi'e, know about them so I can bring a personality to the building." Early on, Cara leaned towards Why do what someone else does? "She proved I had ability as a Friday, one a maple walnut cake with impressionistic painting.

I wasn't sure there was a market for it. Inevitably, I knew I'd do it." -· Cara's travels in _Europe brought her to synagogues where she attended services. " What stands out in my mind is a service in a little cottage in Ireland, and going, to the Grand Synagogue in England from where my mother's family came. . "When I was in Fl9rence, I was so enthralled with · one little congregation, I thought I was in _Byzantine times. The Sephardic i"nfluence of the service was so interesting to me." .
