"Sheila Crider is a self taught artist currently based in Baltimore after practicing in Washington, D. C. for most of her career. She has always made her living as an artist, starting with The Original Response Handmade Envelopes and Books in art fairs and craft markets. Encouraged by the public response to this work, she began submitting to open calls to exhibit collages and wall hangings made from the same hand dyed papers. In 2009, she was awarded the first of many public art projects. Commissions have included a lobby project for The Community of Hope (DC), original art for a children’s room for The DC Public Library and for Art-In-Public-Places DC. In 2022 and 2017 she was awarded $10,000 Artist Fellowships by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. Her work is included in many public and private collections including Art-in-Public-Places (WDC), James E Lewis Museum (Baltimore, MD), Yale University Book Collection (New Haven, CT), State Department Print Collection (WDC), African American Museum (Dallas, TX), Ranger Italy (Serengo, Italy), Mino Washi Paper Museum (Mino, Japan), Hyatt Regency Hotel (Crystal City, VA) and the Library of Congress Print Collection (WDC)."
