Joette Snyder - Fine Artist
I am dedicated to help endangered species by donating 15% of the profits I make on my artwork. This way I can give back to the planet and help care for the beautiful creatures that live here with us. My passion with art is to capture the soul of my creatures in their eyes and facial expressions.
A self-taught traditional artist, I rely on nature for inspiration. Wild animals are such a beautiful creation and I am dedicated to preserve them in my art. My subjects are usually in action rather than a stationary position such as horses running with wind in their manes or big cats on the prowl. My favorite medium is pencil with charcoal for deep shadows, and watercolor next. Wildlife and pet portraits are my best subjects; there are so many creatures in need of preservation.
I was raised in Los Angeles, drawing horses and dogs from about the age of five. I studied art and design in college and was a commercial artist for fifteen years. My favorite vacation places are the National parks; they are places to be close to nature. For nine years, I lived in the Pacific Northwest close to the habitat of many of these beautiful creatures. I recently moved back to Los Angeles where I can finally be a full time artist as this is my passion.
My philosophy is — life is getting short enjoy your passions!
