Ingrid Schmeck was born 1944 in Poznań, Reichsgau Wartheland (present-day Poland). ^[1] She was raised in Eckernförde, Germany. ^[2] Schmeck studied at the Muthesius Academy of Art in Kiel in book arts, between 1962 and 1967; and between 1971 and 1973 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg.

Since 1974, she has worked as a freelance artist in Germany, Switzerland and Greece. In her pictures of houses and townscapes she has developed a distinctive, multi-perspective form of presentation. Beside urban themes, her subjects include European plants and maritime subjects, including seascapes and illustrations for the former cruise company Deilmann. ^[3] One of the main subjects in her work remains the forms of appearance of European Fastnacht and Carnival, particularly traditions in Basel and Lucerne and the Alemannic range.

In numerous different solo exhibitions her work was presented in museums and galleries in Basel, Berlin, Athens, Aix-en-Provence, Coburg, Eckernförde, Genève, Goslar, Lübeck, Lucerne, Munich, Zurich as well as on the islands Sylt and Naxos. ^[4]
