This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  The following is from Stephanie Strass
Annie Snyder was born in Salona, Pennsylvania, in 1852. She had little art
education other than some early instruction in Salona and in Philadelphia under Emil Kett, from Nuremberg, Germany. She struggled to make a living from art all her life and, at one point, was peddling raffle tickets for her paintings door to door. She lived for a time in Philadelphia but eventually returned to Salona and then Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, by 1893, where she spent the rest of her life.
She opened a studio in her home and also sold paintings through Wanamaker's in Philadelphia, Macy's in New York, and various locations in the area where she lived in northern Pennsylvania. She also taught at Central State Normal School, now known as Lock Haven State University. She died in 1927 in Lock Haven.
She is known primarily for still lifes, particularly of fruit and nuts, but also did a variety of paintings ranging from landscapes to portraits. No exhibition records during her lifetime have been found, however, there have been at least 3 retrospective exhibitions of her works in Lock Haven in 1973, 1979, and 1995. A large collection of her paintings, formerly the D. K. Shadle Collection, can be found today in the Heisey Museum in Lock Haven. One of her paintings is also found in the Santa Barbara Museum.
