Eloise Elaine Schneider
acrylic and watercolor
is Born, written by Brenda O’Quinn and published by
Synerge Books.
Eloise also paints fine art pieces that encompass
gorgeous landscapes, flowers, cotton fields, floral
arrangements, and other delicate and detailed works. Her
playful side lends a hand in her creation of fun art - striped
cats, fat pigs, big lipped fish, and curious cows. Eloise
Schneider’s art also includes images of Italy, Germany,
France, Spain, and Mexico - down by the water, in a
village, or near a field in the sunlight of the dawn. She
also paints ships and beaches, trees and forests, and the
beautiful landscapes of the good ol’ USA.
Faith is important to Eloise as an artist and she
develops that belief system into many of her paintings:
three crosses at Calvary, the cross on Pensacola Beach
that overlooks the bay, children in the hands of God, the
birth of Jesus Christ, and others.
Perhaps the most unusual of Eloise Schneider’s
artwork are her watercolor renditions of American Sign
Language. As a teacher of the deaf and other children
with special needs, Eloise has a heart for the art that
reflects her love for those children. Her painting of the
ASL ‘I Love You’ sign is bright and bold, a wonderful piece
for a hearing or deaf person to enjoy. The world is grand
and love can be too. Eloise’s work is just that: full of love
and life.

Eloise’s rustic paintings, prints, giclees, and canvas
prints have the classic beauty and style of antiques.
Her paintings and prints on canvas include landscapes
from the Georgia, Texas, and Alabama countryside. She
also paints on old wood, combining history with art, as
she incorporates antique jewelry, tools, hats, musical
instruments or frames into her creations. Eloise has been
featured in Lee Magazine and Sunshine Artist Magazine
as well as in newspapers and on television and has won
numerous awards.
Eloise accepts commissions where she designs
original art paintings to accommodate family pieces
(Grandpa’s old watch, for example) into memory
paintings. Eloise originals can be found at both Fairhope
Connection galleries in Fairhope and Orange Beach,
Alabama. Other Eloise originals are also sold at the Hotel
Defuniak Art Gallery in Walton County, Florida, as well as
Nook and Cranny in Defuniak Springs. In Georgia, Eloise
originals on antique china pieces can be found at the
Steffan Thomas Museum of Art Gift Shop in Buckhead;
Doodlebugs in Statesboro; and the Twin City Pharmacy
and Gift Shop. Eloise originals are also displayed at the
Cotton Patch Bakery in Portal, Georgia.
An educator herself, Eloise was one of the illustrators
for the I Can Say That book, winner of the Early Language
Literacy Award. Eloise also illustrated the book Jesus
