Katy SchneiderCreativity without limits, an interview with Katy Schneider

Katy Schneider paints intimate scenes, mostly from her 6 foot by 8 foot studio in her basement. She plays with questions like, how do you fit all of THIS in such a small space? When you see her paintings, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Katy includes all disciplines in her creative life. She consistently challenges the beginner mindset by doing things like taking up pedal steel guitar, composing music and even taking up ballet. Katy reflects on navigating the guilt artists feel when they are not in the studio and giving herself permission to be creative in other ways.

Katy paints from her home in Massachusettes, she teaches painting at Smith college, and has won numerous awards for her children’s books.
