Jenny Snyder is a painter and community organizer, who has worked in the homeless shelter systems of San Francisco and Boston and in the disability independence movement.  She creates paintings about autism and about her dreams, reaching into life experiences to shape images that tell stories.  Many of these figures originate from her work with the disability civil rights movement.  She lives near Tahoe, California with her future husband Chuck, and their dog Max--where she enjoys yoga, hiking, social activism, and spending time with her partner.
