About Vanessa Snyder

 
 
  • Biography
    I have been painting since childhood. Private oil painting lessons, and degrees from the University of Toledo provided educational introductions, but it was many years of art classes at The Toledo Museum of Art that inspired me most. I have been fortunate to be able to work professionally, and my work has been featured in many institutions: Toledo Area Schools and Hospitals, the Metroparks of Toledo, the Detroit Institute of Art, and The Detroit Zoo. I am, perhaps, best known for working with two Toledo organizations as Creative Director : The Toledo Zoo, and Toledo’s Science Center, where I interpreted scientific subject matter via illustration and exhibit design. Samples of my painting and designs can be seen in exhibit components, illustration and murals, including the train viaduct over Route 24. Over the course of my career, I have continued to paint, and my work is included in many private collections. My subject matters evolve, given new experiences, mentors and travel, but analyzing and interpreting the world is at the root of all my creative work. Painting is my preferred, and most personal means of accomplishing that.
