Dean Snider
Interview in The Leader newspaper from September 2025.
Dean Snider, a Houston-based outsider artist, creates vibrant abstract mixed media works layered with colors, textures, and found objects like broken toys and medical imagery. Active at First Saturday Arts Market since 2005, Snider’s prolific output, over 1,000 original paintings sold, reflects his divine calling to art, sparked at 18 by a gift of paints. His pieces, blending acrylics, house paint, and collage on wood, canvas, and metal, hang alongside icons like Keith Haring and Basquiat in collectors’ homes. He also works, building and designing theater sets.
