About Maria Schneider
Maria Schneider’s art is characterized by graphic simplicity and conceptual undertones. A native of Madrid, Spain, Schneider studied at The Art Student League in New York, NY, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, PA. She is a member of NextFab, a makers-space in Philadelphia, where she works with lasers, LED lighting, and other technologies which she incorporates in her artistic practice. Previously, she completed a Law Degree and an MBA, disciplines that now inform her work.
Drawing and experimentation have always been central to her artistic practice in which she marries art and technology using basic elements of drawing and simple lighting techniques. Her new ventures into photography use layering ideas to create mystical landscapes of color and shape.
Her work is part of several corporate collections – CubeSmart, PricewaterhouseCoopers, AIR Communities, Rhino Investments, Raynes Lawn Hehmeyer, Lincoln Harris, myCIO, as well as private collections. She has exhibited at the Barnes Foundation, Rowan University, Pennsylvania State Museum, Philadelphia City Hall, CFEVA, several Philadelphia downtown galleries, as well as at ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, MI, and Samara Gallery in Houston, TX.
