BIO
Toronto artist Daniel Schneider received a Masters Degree in Fine Art (MFA) from The University of Guelph, Ontario, in 2000. While continuing his studio practice, he pursued further study in marketing and public relations, with the intention of promoting other artists, actors, musicians, designers and filmmakers. As a publicist, he has contributed media relations support for high profile personalities such as Hilary Duff, Tonya Lee Williams (Young and the Restless) Moses Znaimer and Choclair. Schneider’s drawings hang in the Toronto Four Seasons Hotel, the Soho Metropolitan and the Cosmopolitan; and they appear in issues of Canadian House and Home and Style at Home.
