Wendi Schneider’s ‘The Essence of Her Ocean’ & “Where the Moonlight Touches’ Featured in Humana Obscura ‘Blue’

This stunning anthology explores the many shades of “blue” — from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of the sky, from the serenity of twilight to the melancholy of a storm.

Featuring poetry and visual art inspired by nature’s most evocative hue, “Blue” captures the essence of water, air, emotion, and the ever-changing world around us. Each piece, whether a lyrical meditation on a quiet lake or a vibrant painting of a coastal horizon, invites readers to immerse themselves in the beauty, mystery, and depth of the color blue.

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

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 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

Wendi Schneider’s Ethereal Illusions in Shadow & Light Magazine

Wendi’s images are featured in the Language of the Land edition of Shadow & Light Magazine.

“I create illuminated impressions of glimpses of grace in our vulnerable natural world. My work is a celebration of the senses anchored in the visual – an exploration of my spiritual connection to sinuous organic forms and the transcendence I find in their beauty. I preserve mystical moments that still time for me. Viewing the world in vignettes, I am calmed by the visual balance of a compelling composition. Subtle variations of rich hues move me, and I find magic in the mist and mystery of the obscured . . .”
–– Wendi Schneider

“Around the Corner” Featured on Rfotofolio

Wendi Schneider - Around the Corner

Wendi Schneider’s gold leafed photograph “Around the Corner’ was featured as the Photo of the Day.

An excerpt from a 2018 Rfotofolio interview:

Which photographers and other artists’ work do you admire? 

“A long, yet abbreviated list: the Pictorialists – Steichen, Demachy, Eugene, de Meyer, Kuhn, Kasebier, Puyo, Brigman, Coburn, Haviland – Moon, Metzner, Turbeville, Outerbridge, Sudek, Salgado, and so many others. I’m drawn to the simplicity of old Japanese prints and paintings, the gilded work of Klimt and the religious painters of centuries past, Manet, Monet, Heade, Turner, Sargent, Whistler, Courbet . . . the list goes on. I believe everything we see is imprinted on our psyche, perhaps to emerge in a personal incarnation in the future.”
