Ann Marie Schneider unearths our complicated relationships to land through visual art, site interventions, and social practice. Raised by a Great Lakes biologist who taught her to see deeply, and trained in landscape architecture, she is now a Seattle-based artist pursuing timeFULness—a deepening consciousness of planetary timescales and the widening gap between quarterly profits and glacial epochs. Her work reckons with time and scale beyond our own through a dialectical lens—one that treats opposing natural forces, both constructive and destructive, as agents of resilience and dialogue.
She employs the processes of time and transformation, from the geologic to the ephemeral, to create gallery works, interventions, and encounters across a range of media. Information, histories, and speculative futures become tangible experiences—fishing lure canopies that speak to cultural adaptation, stormwater public art that reveals transformation, and interactive property lines that invite creative growth.
She holds an MLA from University of Pennsylvania and a BFA from School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and foregrounds sustainable practices through LEED and SITES certification education. Writing and teaching complement her practice through publications in interdisciplinary journals, presentations at art and design conferences, and workshops including her "Drawing Dialectical Landscape" session at UW College of Built Environments.
