Summary

Picture
Among my colleagues, I have always been known as the one who can pick up the pieces, no matter what amount of you-know-what hits the fan. Originally a musician and sculptor, I have spent the latter half of a decade developing ways to incorporate and channel creativity into marketing and sales of products and services. In doing so, I have devised my own approach that has been described as a completely innovative way of marketing. As a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual, I possess a successful track record with every job I have taken. I welcome any inquiries and am always looking to expand my network and overall opportunities.

Honors & Awards

Miracle report by Julianne Swartz and Ken Landauer representing artist
​January 2012
ASU Art Museum
Julianne Swartz and Ken Landauer spent their Social Studies residency at the ASU Art Museum looking for miracles. The artists explored the miraculous through people's perceptions of it in their lives, interviewing students, school children and community members of all ages and backgrounds. They combined their findings in an installation of fleeting vignettes playing on all of the available sound and video equipment in the museum's possession. In the words of the artists, "Our installation will strive to embody some beauty, some hocus-pocus and some unexplainable magic."
 
This project is supported by a grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts as part of the Social Studies series. Initiated by John D. Spiak, the exhibition is curated by Heather Sealy Lineberry with Nicole Herden.
