Catherine Couturier Gallery is delighted to present the work of gallery artist Wendi Schneider in her debut solo exhibition with the gallery entitled States of Grace.
Wendi Schneider is a Denver-based visual artist illuminating impressions of grace in the natural world with photography and precious metals. Drawn to the serenity she finds in elegant organic forms, she creates unique objects of reverence to preserve vanishing beauty in our vulnerable environment. Seeking balance between the real and imagined, Schneider layers images digitally with color and texture. Images are then printed with archival pigment ink on vellum or kozo. White gold, silver or 24k gold leaf is applied behind the image, creating a silken luminosity on the print's surface.
Born in Memphis, TN in 1955, Schneider holds an AA in Art History from Stephens College and a BA in Painting from Newcomb College at Tulane. Schneider’s photographs have been exhibited and collected internationally and are held in permanent collections at New Orleans Museum of Art, Memphis Brooks Museum, Auburn University Library Collection, and Try-Me, and numerous private collections.
The artist will be in attendance at the opening reception on Saturday, October 19th from 6-8 p.m.
