The artist behind the movement: Chris Zaccaria, an LGBT artist celebrated for his vibrant imagination, uses his work to share love and light with the universe through his creations, Schnerds. These compassionate, curious creatures live in harmony, embodying presence and mutual support, and serve as reminders for us to be kind and attentive to those around us. Zaccaria’s art, inspired by children’s books, spirituality, religious iconography, and everyday life, invites viewers to explore hidden details and deeper meanings. Rooted in love and shaped by the memory of his mother, Schnerds welcomes all: Join the Schnerdiverse.
