Wendi Schneider Interviewed by Denver Women Magazine

November 2, 2020

Wendi Schneider

“Wendi is widely known for her ongoing series of hand-gilded photographs, States of Grace –– illuminated impressions of grace in the natural world. Drawn to the serenity she finds in the sinuous elegance of organic forms; she embraces photography to preserve vanishing moments of beauty in our vulnerable environment. She has perfected a gilding process in which her images seemingly dance on the paper’s surface amidst reflections of light on precious metals, creating a synthesis of technique and subject.”


—Denver Women Magazine

Wendi Schneider Featured in The Royal Photographic Society Visual Arts Magazine

October 12, 2020

Wendi Schneider was a Featured Photographer in the 158th Issue of Visual Art, the magazine published by England’s Royal Photographic Society Visual Art Group. Many thanks to the Royal Photographic Society for this wonderful feature.

“I was in New Orleans last year and found ‘A Gallery for Fine Photography’ and it was here, among a fantastic selection of images, that I discovered the work of Denver-based artist Wendi Schneider. Her work literally shone out, by the use of precious metals to gild the reverse of her work, she creates other-worldly representations of the environment around us. I admire the way she has produced a beautiful body of work in a unique and magical way.“

– Ray Higginbottom, Editor, ARPS

Wendi Schneider Featured on “Mother F Stop”

August 11, 2020

Wendi Schneider - Withdrawal to Tranquility

“Her work is influenced by the lush landscapes of Memphis and New Orleans, her collection of art and antiques from the turn of the twentieth century, and a background in painting and art history – in particular the work of Steichen, Whistler, and other Pictorialists and Tonalists. She turned to photography in the early 1980s to create references for her paintings, then combined the mediums…”

Wendi Schneider featured in Catherine Couturier Gallery’s “Safe in the Studio” Series

April 9, 2020

“My practice has not shifted measurably in the time of Covid-19. I turn to nature to dwell in serenity amidst the chaos, for it is there I find sanctuary and respite. I am transfixed and transformed when I capture impressions of fleeting grace in the natural world. Calmed by fluid, organic shapes reminiscent of the elegant whiplash lines of art nouveau botanicals, I photograph intuitively.“

Wendi contributed a post to Safe in the Studio, a weekly series created in response to the pandemic, where artists offer insight into their work and artist practice.

Wendi Schneider Interviewed in “SHOTS Magazine”

September 30, 2019

SHOTS Magazine featured Wendi Schneider as the designated “Emerging Photographer” for their JOURNEY issue. Many thanks to Douglas Beasley for his wonderful interview!

“I saw your portfolio ‘Evenings With the Moon’ at PhotoLucida and was knocked out by the physicality of the prints — how they felt in my hand, the translucence. I thought the gold leafing was especially effective in giving the prints a sense of both delicacy and depth. That quality is so hard to convey in the two dimensions of print.“

Interview: “A Conversation with Wendi Schneider”

April 14, 2019

Thanks to Lannie Versair for publishing this wonderful interview on his blog, Shutter Talking!

“As to what to gild, it’s intuitive, as is what I capture. As I have worked with the process, I’m often drawn to images with light areas that might show more of the luminous gilding, but sometimes a pop of light can be dramatic and effective on a darker image. It depends of the desired outcome, though the hands-on journey of each piece may take it in a different direction.“

“Rfotofolio” Interviews Wendi Schneider

April 27, 2018

Wendi sat down with Rfotofolio recently to discuss her career in photography, her inspirations, and the States of Grace series. Huge thanks to Connie Rosenthal for sharing this wonderful interview!

“When I’m capturing or creating an image, I’m entirely focused on the detail and wonder of the subject and process, so all else fades away. The creative flow quiets the noise in my head. The current project finds me often in nature, so that in itself is incredibly healing for me emotionally and spiritually. If I can create work, I feel fortunate. If I can make work that I feel good about, I feel fulfilled. If I can create work that touches others in some way, I feel successful.”
