Muriel SchnepsLaughing at adversity is serious business, said Schneps. We need all the help we can get doing it. Dancing and cartoons can chase any problem away. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Schneps briefly took classes at The Art Institute of Philadelphia nd the Art Student League of New York. She painted for several years in NYC in the seventies, and then moved to Seattle, where she worked feverishly at her craft for another two years. Her next stop was San Francisco, which was her home for the next 28 years. Her art has been featured in numerous gallery shows in San Francisco over the years, and was often a familiar figure at the wharf, where she made pencil and acrylic portraits on the street. Muriel also painted on the streets of Paris for several months. She has received various awards for her work at art exhibitions. She is presently residing in Kansas. Read More Read Less
