"Brazilian Toucan" Painting

Ketzia Schoneberg is a contemporary visual artist, classical violinist and college professor whose mixed media paintings and drawings are exhibited internationally. Her instinctual artworks function as feminist self-portraiture, depicting animals and the female figure within a psychospiritual framework and an expanded notion of species sentience. In 2025 the artist was awarded a Career Opportunity Grant from the Ford Family Foundation. She has been a Virginia Center for Creative Arts Fellow and a Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture Artist-in-Residence. Schoneberg’s works were included in both the 2025 Artworks Northwest Biennial and the Around Oregon Biennial. Her one-woman show, “Animal Husbandry” opens at the Corinne Woodman Gallery at The Arts Center in Corvallis, Oregon in April of 2026. Schoneberg received her MFA in Visual Studies from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2023 and completed her undergraduate education at the San Francisco Art Institute and San Francisco State University. A fourth-generation artist, she was born in Los Angeles, grew up in San Francisco and is currently living and working in the Pacific Northwest. Schoneberg is a lecturer and Studio Head of Drawing at Lewis & Clark College, and was formerly a visiting assistant professor at Willamette University and Southern Oregon University.
