Artist Statement:
Art presents humanity new ways
of seeing and communicating -
an ever evolving tradition I
consider myself privileged to
be a part of. I love the
challenge of creating my view
of the world, from mind to
hand to canvas and paper.
I have a BFA degree from
Boston University School of
Fine Art,
Boston, Mass. I was a painting
major. My youth was spent in
Easton, Pa . where my father
was a professor at Lafayette
College. I was fortunate to
have access to many cultural
programs and exhibits the
college afforded, plus easy
access to the galleries and
museums in New York City and
Philadelphia. These advantages
had significant impact and
assisted me in moving forward
as an artist.
I used soft pastel for the
first years of my career and
focused on
the figure and interiors and
on French urban and country
scenes.
The work has been exhibited
at many solo shows at the
Hahn
Gallery in Philadelphia, Pa
and in group shows at the Nan
Miller
Gallery in Rochester, NY., at
the Woodmere Art Museum, Phila
delphia, Pa, Boston
University, Boston Mass.,
WXXI Fine Art
Auction , J,Barrett Galleries,
Toledo, Ohio and the Memorial
Art Gallery, Rochester, NY.

Hi Reif,I love your art, especially your pastels. Your landscapes are so well balanced and colorful. I just started using soft pastels a few months ago...still learning the medium, but love working with them. I'm starting to do more landscapes/seascapes instead of portraits, and hopefully will post a few more photos of them in the near future. I would love to know what you think of my work. Good luck to you Reif! http://www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/p/pattrsnd/

I own many pieces of Reif Snyder's work, and I will simply never have enough. Her work is so beautiful, and her pieces come alive with life and light. Her ability to bring different shades of light into her paint colors is so beautiful! Perfectly balanced, you find yourself looking into one of her pieces many times through out the day. Wonderful, peaceful places, that you wish you could step into and be there yourself. Every piece is different, yet similar in structure. You can smell the wind and feel the sun. You are transported to a place where perfection and peace live, and it holds out it's essence in a silent invitation to join. Reif has such a gift, a gift that is second to none. You will never be disappointed in anything you buy. I will be a buyer for life. Thank you Reif!

I am a new fan of Reif's. I purchased my first last year at the Gasparilla Art show and have been looking forward to acquiring more. I just love the peaceful, gentle way of the landscapes and how they flow. I have become a huge fan and look forward to all the new works to come.

Hello Reif,
I admire your works with perfectly balanced colors. I like the way in which you paint the landscapes. It releases a feeling of peace, plenitude and eternity. Good luck for your next exhibitions.

Reif, I met you at the Gasparella Art Festival in Tampa Florida this year and bought one of your beautiful paintings, which I still am in love with. When are you going to put more paintings on your web site?
