"On Your Mark"


Kolanowski Studio images soon


Felicia Schneider had been reading a lot of novels with female archer protagonists, and her sculpture “On Your Mark” was conceptualized as a Houston version of this fantasy-genre character—like our city, she is modern, strong, sometimes dangerous, and presents an image of fine lines and geometry. Schneider says, “There is a reason archery so easily fits into this genre: it is precise and destructive, serves a function, and takes place in the natural world—characteristics which also happen to inspire my art.”
Always passionate about art, culture, and the outdoors—finding the oceans, mountains, forests, deserts, lakes, and rivers to be the truest forms of art—Schneider set out to study in Ghana, farm in Florida and Puerto Rico, travel throughout South America and Mexico, and tour the U.S. by motorcycle. She moved to Houston in 2017 to join the U.S. Geological Survey team, instantly falling in love with the City’s skylines, houses—old and new, brick and corrugated metal—and the geometrical lines of its buildings and roads—all existing in a harsh and beautiful natural environment. Her time with USGS also taught her the craft of welding—opening an exciting new medium and stirring her long-held love for creating art.
