Loraine Schneider

Artist

My work ranges across different media including trompe l’oeil, murals and scene painting as well as my own paintings.

I trained in fine art at Lancaster University (BA Hons) and then completed my post graduate course in scenic art at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Since the early 90's I have had a career as a professional scene painter working in many of the leading theatres, ballets and opera houses in the U.K. I have also worked as an artist on a number of
films for the director Mike Leigh as well as undertaking private commissions for venues including Cliveden House and The Waterside Inn in Bray.

I have a studio on Eel Pie Island on the Thames near Twickenham, London, where I carry out paintings of my own work and commissions as well as teaching. The artists on the island have open studios twice a year in June and December.
