Since 1988, I have owned a self-developed business called "Karan A. Schneider Collections." In 1988 the first collectible was copyrighted and since then have developed and added progressive works on an ongoing basis. This includes the recent Angel and Alternative Health Care Modalities products introduced in 2004 through another business I started called "Emerging Wings, Unaware." My business specializes in angels, angelic creations, polymer creations, original sculpted figures, silicone rubber mold making, votives, barrettes, polymer angel visuals, faux gemstone pens, various custom orders, authentic automata, lady dolls, marionettes, reproductions of old masters works into three dimensions, fairies, and many Christmas specialties. This is an active retail and wholesale business, with international distribution, including marketing and selling specialty supplies for the sculpting and figure making. I have developed full skill seminars and classes for the beginner to the professional, lectured in various cities across the United States , assisted in project coordination at conventions, and marketed various products and supplies at shows and conventions which resulted in increased sales.

Won numerous awards at National Art Shows, and achieved world recognition for sculpting, I was selected by Hillary Rodham Clinton to create Christmas Tree Art Work for the White House in 1999. Authored and published internationally in Art and Sculpting books, many magazine articles written about me, self-publishing, and have written articles for other artists.

Currently writing a book on Self-Hypnosis/Spirituality:

Inner Self Healing looking through eyes of a Hypnotherapist in the sessions of Hypnpotharapy/Hypnosis/Hypnoanalysis & Self Hypnosis in a Spiritual Process.

Realizing all hypnosis is self-hypnosis and it's relation to prayer and meditation and inner healings of the body, mind and soul. This self- hypnotic process occurs everyday and has had an impact on you from the time you were born. Understanding your self in any process is a change, and change occurs no matter what the process. You have chosen a change by reading this and will now choose how you will respond in your self-hypnotic process that follows. Self-hypnosis is the first journey you will take and experience in your life.
