In all my work the process is evident. the process is as valid as
the end
results. I do
not favor the modification of elements these things are worked out
through
the art making
process.² This is the basis of Patrice Schneider¹s work. Patrice
began
making art at the
age of 3 and has never stopped. She received her BA in fine arts from
The
Catholic
University of America in Washington, DC where she was adwarded the
Citation
of
Distinction. Patrice has studied at the John Cass Art Institute in
London,
UK, where she
was the only American student to have her work exhibited in the Degree
Show.
She did post

Art

Studio in Philadelphia. Patrice has studied under renowned artists
including: John
Winslow, Tom Nakashima, Glenn Goldberg. Elena Sisto, Nick Carone,
