Wendi Schneider Featured in “Thinking About Photography”

April 11, 2021

“I have chosen six photographers for this showcase whose art runs a wide gamut of what “staged imagery” can involve. Several have found imaginative ways to transform the everyday through reinvention and abstraction, finding the power in the ordinary. While others seek to evoke a mood,  capture vanishing moments of beauty, or even include the presentation of the print as part of their staging.

A photo reviewer once told me I was a film-maker – and I think that describes these photographers as well. The desire to control what exists within and without the frame is at the heart of staged photography.”

–– Ann Mitchell

Wendi Schneider’s Patina Collection in “IF 6” at Rick Wester Fine Art

March 25, 2021

“IF 6” is the gallery’s first in-person group exhibition since before the start of the pandemic, signifying the beginning of a return to normalcy. In the same light, If 6 brings hints of ecstasy, springtime and rebirth.

If 6 is a visual representation of adaptability and perspective, with the title taken from Jimi Hendrix’s song, If 6 Was 9, which questions the possibility of another scenario. What would happen if 6 was 9, if the situation were reversed, if something you thought you knew ended up being something else entirely? It is a metaphor for the experience of the past year for most of us, everywhere.”

Available for viewing in person in New York and online at Artsy until April 10th.

Wendi Schneider Juries “Flora” Exhibition for SE Center for Photography

March 24, 2021

“As I began my first of several journeys through the nearly 1900 images, I began to pull evocative images that made me feel something. These selections created the basis for the exhibition. It was a pleasure to have time to live with the images and to return to those that lingered in my memory. I looked for a variety of interpretations and processes, classical and contemporary, that worked together to create conversations. Ultimately there were more than a few that had to be eliminated in order to create a cohesive exhibition of only 40 images.”

“In Diffusion Volume X, we pay homage to the history and celebration of our forged bonds, so cheers to the technicians, the historians, the cyber artists, the chemists, the alchemists, the magicians, the purists, the rebels, and the visionaries! Ten cheers for the crafters of photography.”

Wendi Schneider Featured in ‘Still in the Studio’ at Catherine Couturier Gallery

February 10, 2021

“It has been a year of more and less. More appreciation, compassion, loss, recognition, reflection, solitude, and work. Less travel, interaction, and concern about unimportant things. Even mundane tasks have developed into more meditative moments. I am acutely aware of the passage of time and of my emotions, which seem to resonate more deeply. And as usual, but perhaps more than ever, I have turned to my art for serenity and respite, as making art to celebrate beauty has always been my personal refuge…” — Wendi Schneider

Wendi Schneider Now Represented by Vision Gallery in Jerusalem

January 29, 2021

“In a recent article published on Artnet, I noted that there is a trend in contemporary photography, a movement that might be called neo-Romanticism, in which artists seek ‘a transcendent union between nature, science & humanity.’ This harmonious fusion of elements is easily discerned in the works of artist Wendi Schneider. Wendi’s work shares an affinity with other Vision artists, most notably Beth Moon and Jennifer Schlesinger and with my own ‘Celestial Nights’ series. . .  [Wendi’s] images and prints are unique, I have never seen anything like them. We are privileged to have it at Vision. You are invited to schedule a live or virtual visit to the gallery and see the work in person.”  – Neil Folberg

Wendi Schneider to Juror “Flora” for Southeast Center For Photography

January 5, 2021

Artists throughout the ages have been drawn to the vast and varied world of flora. What moves you? Do you celebrate the essence of beauty or strive to heighten recognition of the perilous path of our environment? Are you inspired by a single bloom or a profusion of blossoms in a lush bouquet, enchanted gardens manicured or messy, plants endangered or invasive, carefully cultivated or sown by nature, bursting forth or shriveling on a vine?

We’re looking for flora, all types from a single stem to a vast landscape, still life, formal gardens, or vegetation gone wild. Color or monochrome, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.

Submissions Close 3/7/21

Wendi Schneider Portfolio Featured in Artdoc Magazine

December 22, 2020

“Trees are silent protagonists in the work of Wendi Schneider, which is rooted in the serenity she finds in the sinuous elegance of organic forms. She shares moments of respite in beauty as an antidote to the unease in the world in which we live. “If I can touch someone else with my work, I’m deeply moved and grateful. I hope that viewers will appreciate the beauty and embrace the need to care for our endangered planet.”

Process as a Search for Serenity with Wendi Schneider

November 21, 2020

Wendi Schneider - Cypress

Los Angeles Center of Photography – Online Learning Series
Saturday, March 27, 10:00 am – 11:30 am PST

In this webinar, Wendi will discuss her artistic process, which fuses digital techniques with hand-gilding. Schneider’s process is heart-driven by a search for grace and the elusive ‘glow of flow,’ when the awareness of time and space disappear. Using her own work as reference, Wendi will showcase a series of images at several points in the production process to tell the story of an image from capture to completion. Rather than a tutorial on her image-making techniques, Wendi will discuss the path that has led her to her chosen form photography and print-making, and share how she uses her process to find serenity.

Meet Denver-Based Visual Artist Wendi Schneider

November 2, 2020

Wendi Schneider

She is an Artist & Photographer Well-Known for Her Photographs of Nature & Wildlife.

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.

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.
