Wendi Schneider’s ‘Flamingo’ in ‘The Paula Tognarelli Collection’ at The Maine Museum of Photographic Art

Wendi Schneider - Flamingo

The Maine Museum of Photographic Art
15 Middle Street, Portland, ME

April 5 – May 25
Opening Reception: Friday, April 12, 5-8 PM
Collectors Talks: Friday, April 19 + Friday, May 17, 5-8PM

“Personal art collections are always a form of self portraiture and our new exhibition is no exception. It’s prodigious; about wonder, wit, moments, connections to individual artists, and they all have a dreamy and whimsical perspective. The romanticism of the collector shines through. The images also speak about the process of making art and the breadth or modes of expression in contemporary photography. The viewer will notice that there is an optimism throughout the compilation that makes spending time with these photographs delightful. It speaks to Tognarelli’s heart and eye.” — Denise Froehlich, Director of MMPA

Wendi Schneider’s “Into the Mist” Featured on All About Photo

“A quiet pilgrimage among the trees revealed the beloved fog that comforted me as a child growing up in the South. Embraced in a vapor evocative of the melancholy light of dusk, it was as though the clouds sighed an amorphous, dewy veil over the lush woods. I felt outside of time as we drove along the winding road, photographing through the windows and myriad layers of love and loss. Moving and still – it was a blink in the continuum of history, in a period like no other in our lifetime.“

– Wendi Schneider

Wendi Schneider’s ethereal gold-leafed photographs from “Into the Mist” were recently featured on All About Photo alongside an illuminating artist statement detailing her inspiration and process for the series.

PHOTOGRAPHERS IN CONVERSATION: WENDI SCHNEIDER AND LAURIE LAMBRECHT

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

–- Rachel Carson, The Silent Spring

The Etherton Gallery in Tucson, Arizona has just opened the exhibition, Reverence: Laurie Lambrecht and Wendi Schneider, that runs through June 10, 2023. Reverence pairs Laurie Lambrecht’s embroidered photographs on linen with Wendi Schneider’s gilded photographs on kozo paper, highlighting recent directions in object-based photography. 

Sharing exhibition walls with another artist is always a great opportunity to connect more deeply with a photographer whose work is in conversation with your own. We continue the conversation off the wall and onto the page as Lambrecht and Schneider explore each other’s practices and influences. — Aline Smithson, Lenscratch

Wendi Schneider: “Finding Grace” at Denver Performing Arts Center

Denver Arts & Venues is proud to present this important exhibition spanning several decades of Wendi’s artistic portfolio. The continuous thread throughout Wendi’s body of work is grace. We live in a world where time never stops, where everything around us is constantly changing in a mad rush. Yet, when experiencing Wendi’s work, we feel a much-needed moment of stillness and reverence for the natural world. There is a beauty and quiet calm in everything she creates, whether in a serene view of trees at night, or the calm resting of a bird, or a portrait of a flower. Her use of gold leaf gilding creates a sense of preciousness unique to each print.

Buell Theater
14th & Curtis, Denver, CO
On view May 2 – July 2
Opening reception: Friday, May 5
5-8 pm

Wendi Schneider to Jury ‘The Natural World’ Exhibition for Analog Forever Magazine

“For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this (20th) century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.” ~ Jacques-Yves Cousteau

The veneration of fleeting moments of beauty is now intensified by the quickening pace of loss. To what do you pay tribute and seek to bring attention? Where do you find your sense of place, solace or disruption? What moves, replenishes, or disturbs you? How do you express what resonates with your soul in the natural world, be it the birds, bees, plants, trees, or other creatures? What is the story only you can tell?

Deadline for Submission: February 28, 2023
