"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."
Abstract Expressionist painter Katie Ré Scheidt was born in New York City andraised in Bronxville, NY. Scheidt had a thirteen-year career on Wall Street as anEquity sales trader, and began her professional art career while living in Roxbury,CT, where she has lived for the past ten years with her family.Scheidt has built a robust commission business specializing in abstracts,portraiture and nudes. Her gestural figures are both lyrical and romantic, and at thesame time they engage a powerful conversation with the present. Amid layeredfields of color and expressive strokes of pigment, bare canvas and fragile charcoallines, her imagery bursts before you as painterly moments come together to create awhole. Scheidt’s use of color is both sumptuous and candid, lending a lushchoreography to her work.Scheidt's work can be found in private collections worldwide. Her workcurrently hangs at Relais & Chateaux hotels in New England like Winvian Farm inLitchfield Hills, CT and Auberge resorts like The Mayflower Inn & Spa inWashington, CT
