Meredith Schneider

My name is Meredith Schneider and I am an illustrator currently studying at The Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. Traditional media is important to my craft because in an increasingly digital world much of the spontaneity of mark making is lost. I strive to merge these two ways of creating together.

Much of my work is figurative focusing on conceptual themes including growth and distortion. My fascination in anatomy has driven me to create very detail-oriented pieces that combine the beauty of the human figure with anatomical structures. Recently though I have been taking a step back from meticulous detail and I’m focusing on larger scale paintings that are more about setting a mood with color and the beauty of gestural mark making.
