"My new paintings of palms, pussycats, leaves, stars, buses, knots and puppets, offer a bright contrast to the somber subjects and limited palettes of my recent Soviet Russian-based work. I use acrylic paint, assorted drawing materials, chalk, watercolor pencils, and more recently, collaged paper, canvas and linen." - Jenny Snider, 2013

Jenny Snider is an artist who has been working professionally for forty-six years. She has produced a large body of work, including painting, drawing, and sculpture, animated films, limited edition books, and hand-drawn artists books. Her work draws form and content from a wide variety of sources; from popular culture to history, art and politics; from grid-based abstraction to representations of natural and mechanical forms.

Most recently, she won a 2011-12 Rome Prize in Visual Arts, from the American Academy in Rome. Other major awards include membership at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, Studio Program, in New York City, 2011; a Studio Fellowship from the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation Space Program, 2009-2010; the 2006 President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, Queens College CUNY, and a 2002 residency at Yaddo, Saratoga Springs, NY. In 1986 and 1991, she received two Painting Fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, two Painting Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (1979 and 1987), and two Faculty Research Awards from the Research Foundation, CUNY, (1989 and 2001).
