Wendi Schneider’s “Evenings with the Moon” Featured in SXSE Magazine

“In ‘Evenings with the Moon’ I contemplate the power of universal experiences to unify and find transcendence. My images of the night draw on the moon as muse and the juxtaposition of darkness and light to express our shared longing for freedom, peace, love, and harmony amidst the chaos of the world. The gilded prints echo the luminosity of their celestial inspiration. This synthesis of form and content, paired with poetry and music, encourages the viewer to consider the commonalities in our collective consciousness.”

Wendi Schneider Featured in “Thinking About Photography”

“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

IF 6 is Rick Wester Fine Art 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.”

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

“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

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