Janelle Schneider

Janelle makes paintings and mixed-media works using paint and pattern, sometimes alongside textiles and stitching.

She is drawn to thresholds - the space between what is remembered, perceived, and imagined.

Her background in graphic design and digital arts shapes the way she composes images and patterns. Through layered surfaces, and occasionally through textile and stitch, she is interested in evoking a sense of memory, perception, and imagination shift and overlap.

She hopes the work encourages viewers to sit with ambiguity, thinking about it as both a state of unease and of possibility.

Her work has been exhibited in galleries and art events throughout the Pacific Northwest, as well as in the San Francisco Bay and Santa Monica areas, and is held in private collections internationally.

Janelle accepts painting commissions as her schedule allows and enjoys working with collectors to create unique and meaningful works of art.
