Judy Lyons Schneider is an award-winning mixed media artist and layerist who works in oil, encaustic, inks and other media that are most often integrated with collage and printmaking.   Her extensive travels and photography skills enrich her inspirational resources as she develops work reflecting her interest in nature, anthropology and women’s issues.   Judy was born in New York City and educated at the Art Students League and New York University.   Judy has been actively involved with the making of art for over forty years. However, her move to Florida and construction of a dedicated studio and printmaking facility has accelerated her concentration and inspiration.

Schneider says, “It is my desire to engage the viewer in a dialogue with my work,  discovering and adding to its intricacies, harmonies and layers. Although clues for deciphering certain meanings may be present, each piece is essentially an invitation to discover the ongoing story, the narrative open to interpretation”. Her work has been exhibited in museums, galleries and universities throughout the country and in Russia and she has received awards and grants from numerous  organizations and institutions.
