Shannon Crider is a visual artist based in Houston, TX. Her work investigates the impact of contemporary representations of women in our televisual culture. Her two and three-dimensional works employ, collage, sewing, and print to construct new spaces that reflect the psychogenic space of female subjectivity in pop-culture. Crider earned her MFA in Printmedia from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She was an artist-in-residence at Lawndale Art Center's Artist Studio Program and the Vermont Studio Center. In addition to her artistic practice, Crider serves as the Director of Youth Programs at The Representation Project.
