High Heeled Art




If you’re anything like me, footwear took on a whole new dimension the moment I tried on my first pair of high heels.

It was some time between the ages of 4 and 5 while playing dress-ups in my mum’s wardrobe. Despite swimming in the oversized skirt and top ensemble I had created, there is photographic evidence that proves when I teamed the outfit with a pair of killer heels –
I looked every bit the grown up woman….even with the tissue-stuffed bra!

Every woman knows that slipping on a pair of stilettos can change your look in an instant – not to mention boost your self confidence and cause your sex appeal to skyrocket! The fact is, women love wearing them and men love watching women wear them – even if they don’t understand why we are so fascinated with buying so many pairs of them.

Well, one man [finally] understands the fascination with high heels and is making a name for himself by exploring footwear as works of art.

Mark Schwartz is an accomplished shoe designer who spent 25 years traveling the world for inspiration. He spent five years honing his skills under the renowned Roger Vivier and also gained inspiration from artistic icon, Andy Warhol.

It was Warhol and Vivier who encouraged Schwartz to explore his shoe fascination and pursue his ‘high heeled art’. Such esteemed encouragement sparked Schwartz’s flourishing career as an artist and he now has a worldwide following from a growing private, corporate and celebrity clientele.

Schwartz’s paintings bring shoes to life by capturing the beauty, excitement and spontaneity associated with wearing such fabulous heels. His works are one-of-a-kind original artworks and are sold unframed and shipped FREE worldwide.

So if you eat, sleep and breath Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik, here’s your chance to capture your favourite pair on canvas for a fashionable eternity!
