Sculptures created by Dorit Schwartz utilize crystals and rare wood SCOTT IWASAKI Gaia on Main Where: 314 Main St. Hours: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day Phone: 435-731-8376 Email: gaiaonmain596@gmail. com The Park Record A new Park City art gallery is designed to touch patrons on the inside as well as the outside. Gaia on Main, which opened recently at 314 Main St., showcases crystal and reclaimed exotic wood sculptures by Dorit Schwartz, and also offers an array of skin care products, said owner Koral Zeytoni. “The crystals take care of the auras inside beauty, and the lotions and other things take care of your outside,” said Zeytoni, who co-owns the gallery with Isaac Kurtz. “Our goal is to introduce ourselves to Park City and make it possible for everybody to have our art in their homes.” Zeytoni and Kurtz connected with Schwartz while they were looking for artists to represent. “We first thought about opening a pop-up store that would present different artists and art every time,” Zeytoni said. “He showed me a video that had this beautiful piece of crystal and wood, and I stopped him and said, ‘I want this. Of all the things I have seen in this video, I want this.’” Kurtz tracked down Schwartz, who studied fine arts at the Wizo Art School in Tel Aviv, Israel, and she agreed to meet them in her Las Vegas studio, where she has been the resident artist for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital since 2008. The connection was immediate, according to Zeytoni. “First of all, we are also both Israelis, so it felt like it was meant to be,” she said. “Then Dorit told us that her husband had come to Utah the week before our visit, and said she needed to open something in Park City.” Zeytoni and Schwartz also connected through the natural elements of the sculptures. “During COVID nature was the only thing that kept me sane, because I would take my dogs to the mountains and touch the leaves and trees,” said Zeytoni, who has lived in Park City for three years. “When I saw Dorit’s art, I saw that every piece is made from nature. She uses only natural objects — crystals and reclaimed exotic wood. And she keeps the crystals in their natural shapes and collects wood from all around the world.” Schwartz explains her creative Please see Gallery, B-3 TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Dorit Schwartz utilizes crystals and repurposed wood from around the world to create her sculptures that are on exhibit at Gaia on Main.
