Directions: From the east end of AR62/412 (bypass) in Mountain Home, travel on AR62/412 east (toward Lake Norfork), 4.2 miles. Turn left onto AR101N. Drive about 9.5 miles and turn left onto BC44, a well-maintained gravel county road. Travel just under 1 mile and veer right onto Cabin Hill Trail. Turn left onto the first road on the left. (Cabin Hill Trail takes a sharp turn to the right at this point). Look for Art Odyssey signs. This is the driveway and a small rock wall will be on your right just after you turn. Proceed short distance to house. Susan's studio is inside the house. Plenty of parking.
Eight years ago, Susan Schneider began a career as a full-time artist after retiring from 25 years working as a certified public accountant. She is inspired by the abundance of natural beauty that can be found around the Ozarks. "I dont have to leave my yard to see the mountains, wildlife, or beautiful sunsets," she says. Shneider also says that she feels a closeness to nature and history that she has never felt anywhere else.
Schneider is a bead weaver and painter. She uses a variety of beads, including Japanese Miyuki, vintage, gemstone and sterling silver to complete her work. As she weaves the beads into her work, she prefers to use off-loom and herring bone stitches. As for her painting, she uses acrylic paint to create images from her memory, and of the world around her. She has created on of a kind custom paintings that range from small canvasses to large murals, and outdoor walls.
Schneider earned a Bachelor of Art degree from Barat College in Lake Forest, IL. She was three lovely daughters and two grandsons. Her artwork can be purchased at the Arkansas Craft Guild & Gallery in Mountain View, or appointments with her can also be scheduled by calling (870) 467-5704.
