About Ursula Schneider

Born in Switzerland

Attended Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich and Keramischefachschule in Bern; holds Undergraduate Degree in Ceramics from Switzerland.

In 1968 she moved to the United States and Graduated in 1972 with an MFA in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute.

Lived and worked in New York from 1980-2004 and is now in Rockland County.

Taught painting at the San Francisco Art Institute and at Cooper Union. Currently teaches painting at Sarah Lawrence College.

Her artworks include pastel drawings, paintings, small-scale sculptural paintings and woodcuts, working on one medium at a time. These processes complement and enrich each other by stimulating a fresh approach and allowing for experimentation. Drawing from observation in the landscape has been the basis for the work. The focus is on seeing the inherent qualities of the observed and to find the appropriate translation for the medium used.

Is represented by Braunstein Gallery in San Francisco since 1974 and A.I.R Gallery since 1996.
