About Me
|
Self Portrait, 1998, Oil on Panel, 6 3/8 x 4 1/4
|
|
In these canvasses, I work small. I manipulate the scale of objects and
colors until I feel that the canvas has grown. I want to create the whole
world within 10 x 12 inches.
Here’s how I work: I keep stuff laying around. I aim a spotlight at a group of
people or objects. Working in a small cluttered space, I hope to uncover the
geometry that is there, hidden amongst the seemingly unrelated collection
of people and things. When I look at these portraits, it strikes me that even
the people are "piled up," seemingly disorganized. But the apparent chaos
is itself an order I've imposed.
I've been making portraits all my life. Growing up in a family of nine, in a
cramped two-bedroom apartment in midtown Manhattan...

If you are flipping through the pages of Once I Ate a Pie, either because you love children's books or puppies, or both, you might not know the illustrations
are made by one of the America's finest realist painters. Katy Schneider has been an accomplished artist since her undergraduate years, painting the things
around her that she loved. Her work...is ambitious in skill and modest in size and subject. Flowers and babies populate her paintings,
as well as domestic interiors. It's the deftness of her hand guided by honest, empathetic seeing that makes her work so alive, unmistakable, and ultimately compelling.
Schneider earned her B.A. from Yale University and M.F.A from Indiana University, also having attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She's been
the recipient of numerous grants and awards including a Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship and a National Academy of Design purchase award. Since 1990, she's been
a professor at Smith College, and she also teaches summer workshops for ambitious teenagers.
Katy was gracious in answering a few questions for thalo about her life and work....

|
Katy Schneider uses the overhead lighting in her basement studio to emphasize structure over minute detail, and to provide a dramatic unity to her busy family scenes.
Her very natural paintings of family life are a complete embrace of the complexities of her life as a wife, mother and artist.
TD: How many children do you have? How many pets?
KS: I have 3 children (2 daughters and a son), a bunny and a dog (a bichon frise)....
