Jill Schneider is a autodidactic creator who infuses artistry into every facet of her life. At just 15, Jill was a recipient of a grant from The National Endowment for the Arts. 

Upon graduating high school, Jill received an art scholarship at Chapman College while also in dental school. Being a distracted artist, she choose neither route, with entrepreneurial pursuits calling. She started her own business, an LLC, at age 19 as a personal concierge. Ultimately settling into a career of high-end design/decor and event design, Jill made a name for herself in Southern California until 2000. Relocating to Las Vegas, Jill became extremely involved in the Entertainment & Events Industry, where she rose to the top of her career.

Not until now, after 25+ years has she focused on artistic expression.

​​

Drawn back to Art, Jill has amassed a portfolio teeming from inspiration. Vibrant paintings, watercolors and intricate floral designs to breathtaking landscapes (interior and exterior), innovative mixed media art, including photography, innovative collage, stained glass, jewelry design, culinary arts, professional entertainment/event planning and so many more creative challenges. She passionately shares her vision for fashion, bold colors and statements, new mediums, fresh ideas in clothing, leather and accessories.

 

Jill is driven to mentor women and pass on the techniques and fire for artistic expression. Jill's current passions of the day (however random) is mastering leather artistry, learning how to sew, and creating her own line of culinary "finishing salts"! 

 

Beyond her creative pursuits, Jill is a dedicated philanthropist, partnering with many local business hotels/casinos to uplift the underserved. Recently honored in 2024 with both the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteerism and the NOW Honors Visionary Award.

​

Jill's inspiring journey is also featured in the Courage to Give book series, "Courage to Give, People with MS" by Jackie Waldman, showcasing her resilience crafting a beautiful life while navigating her Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis in 2000. Jill is now, gratefully living virtually MS free. (follow the link above for an excerpt)
