KATE RÉ SCHEIDT
Katie Ré Scheidt is a contemporary painter originally from Bronxville, New York. In 2010 she made a major life change by trading in her finance career to focus on her art. Her “second act” blossomed as she began selling her work to designers and homeowners, and quickly gained gallery representation up and down the East Coast. She has built a robust career creating paintings ranging from abstracts and portraiture to commissioned landscapes and nudes. Gestural brushstrokes and a passion for color are characteristic to all of her works, which can be found in private collections worldwide as well as haning at various Auberge Resorts and Relais & Chateaux hotels in New England.
ARTIST STATEMENT
“Much like improv, my canvases are unscripted and often left in a state of dynamic incompletion. Trusting my inner voice and putting my ego away, I can flood color, make marks, react honestly and support choices…having no specified goal. It’s about letting ideas flow with the suspension of judgement.”
~Kate Ré Scheidt
