Chris Schneider

Chris’ formal background in art started with a Foundation in Arts based in Worthing and she went on to complete a degree in Graphic Design at Nottingham. Chris set up own graphic design business in 1997 but stopped in 2019 so she could concentrate on painting full time. 

​

Chris has always been captivated by the quality of light — how it shifts throughout the day, casts shadows, reveals texture, and creates contrasts that change the mood of a landscape. Much of Chris’ practice begins with simply observing: the sky, the horizon and the way light moves over hills or water.

​

Living in Sussex, Chris takes constant inspiration from her surroundings — from the rolling South Downs to the windswept beaches around Brighton. These landscapes are both grounding and expansive, familiar and mysterious. Chris uses a range of mark-making techniques and layered applications to explore texture, rhythm, and space within her compositions.

​

Chris has a member of the Chalk Gallery in Lewes.

Chris belongs to the Sussex Arts Collective and shows her work at Gallery Uno in Seaford.​
