About Belinda
Introduction
My name is Belinda Schneider. I'm German and I currently live in Luxembourg. Travelling is my biggest passion and my professional life has enabled me to travel all over the world. I speak German, English, French and some Spanish and Italian.

Art has always been an exciting hobby for me. While I have been involved in paper arts most of my life,
ARTchix Studio  has opened up the mixed-media world to me.

Coming from a large family (13 brothers and sisters) sharing is natural to me. So I've always been happy to share my artwork or projects with others which has also resulted in publications in Somerset Studio and
ARTitude
Zine and others, many times using ARTchix Studio products.

Some favorite things are flowers, rock music, books, Indian and Mexican food and going to the movies.
