Wendi Schneider

“And in Rose Petals, among other contemporary images by Wendi Schneider, we find the same evocative pastel luminosity that so enlivened Monet’s Water Lilies – evidence that impressionism, in this current, close-cropped form, is alive and well today.” – D. Eric Bookhardt, Gambit Weekly

“Wendi is a photographic artist who seeks beauty in a world that challenges our sense of inner peace. Each image is a unique consideration and elevated through her use of vellum and white gold, silver or 24k gold leaf, resulting in photographic objects that shimmer with luminosity and sumptuous elegance.” – Aline Smithson, Lenscratch
