ARTIST BIO

 

Laura Schneider was born and raised in Wisconsin.  She is a Midwest-based artist who colors outside the lines of life.  While earning her BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Laura’s passion for photography was ignited in the darkroom.

For nearly two decades, Laura has been capturing subtleties that go overlooked by the casual observer.  Her perceptive nature gives her work character and revealing depth.  She leverages her senses and the natural qualities of her environment to leave inspired, relatable creations in her wake. 

Laura's mission is to live to her fullest potential by creating work that matters.

She is currently working on Illuminating Women, an exhibition which shines a light on inspiring women in her community.  This exhibition is a collaboration of journalism and documentary photography.  Through storytelling, Laura creates a connection we long for.

ABOUT STUDIO L

France-landscape-photography-by-Studio-L-artist-photographer-Laura-Schneider-_0191

Studio L Photography was founded in 2007, but in reality, it was born in the magic of the darkroom.  That's where I discovered the artist in me, amid the developing trays and finished photographs hung to dry.  While spending the first 10 years of business as a portrait and wedding photographer, I was also simultaneously building a catalogue of almost two decades worth of fine art photography.

After 15 years in business, 2022 is a season of change for Studio L.  I’ve realized that there's so much more I’m called to do as an artist.  Working with art enthusiasts to bring art into their homes feels like a natural progression towards what I’ve been secretly dreaming of for years.
