Ricarda Schneider

Hi, I’m Ricarda.

I have been so many things throughout my life. I used to be a dancer, an actress, a fitness instructor and a ukulele player (to name just a few). Only later in life I found my love for art and illustration.

It is the thing that most balances and challenges me at the same time, every day.

And I love it.

I love playing with different styles, techniques and media. I don't want to limit myself to creating art in only one way. The art world has so much to offer and there is so much to discover. Every project deserves a fresh perspective and approach.

Paints & Thoughts

I recognized that, each time, when I started to draw, my brain created all kinds of thoughts on art and illustration. Almost philosophical they build up quietly in my mind. So I started a habit of always having a writing pad laying besides me to try and capture these thoughts. Sometimes they sound much more sophisticated in my mind, nevertheless it helps me to reflect myself my drawing process and I guess life in general. Being an artist means evolving each day, never get stuck, being open for everything around you, which can be overwhelming at some point. So writing helps to let some of these thoughts flow on to paper and being captured so my mind can be free. If you like to read some of them you are welcome to stroll over my blog Paints&Thoughts.
