Biography, Experience, Current Projects and Fee Schedules
Lucy Snyder has worked in the field of religious education and liturgy for over twenty-five years. With this background and her experience in textile art, she has completed original liturgical tapestries and paraments for churches in New York, Florida, Louisiana and Maryland, among others. She believes that creating art for liturgical celebration or meditation is her vehicle to share the Good News. Her experience as a liturgical professional and artist provide the necessary expertise to collaborate with church communities, from the initial consultation through education, design process, fabrication, and installation.

Lucy believes there are three major priorities in any project. The first is to connect with the community and to listen to their needs, goals, and history. The second is to work for creative consensus in the project. And, thirdly, she strives to incorporate any and all traditional elements of the community in her designs.

Very often in working with a parish, Lucy will consult on the art and environment as it relates to a pre-building or renovation process. She has presented numerous workshops on developing and training the parish art and environment team, and has also worked as liturgy coordinator for dedications of new worship spaces.
