Ryan Schneider

Works and lived in Joshua Tree in CA, Schneider an oil painter from a young age, he has over time shifted his artistic focus to creating sculptures primarily out of wood using chainsaws, chisels, paint and other tools to create distinct works. Schneider spent 14 years living and working in New York City before relocating to Joshua Tree, California in 2015.Deeply inspired by the various natural elements and lifeforms that he intimately encounters daily at his open-air studio, Schneider relies on simplicity in his work and employs the foundational tools of his painting practice in his approach to sculptural forms. Schneider has found success in his personal and creative conquests by freeing himself of society’s pressures to be excellent and letting the universe run its course. In his work, the artist has come to master a perfect balance between manipulating the material and letting it shape its own destiny.
