CHRISTIE SCHEELE
Christie Scheele has been painting devotedly since receiving her BFA from the College of Art and Design at Alfred University, which included a year on fellowship at the Royal Academy in Madrid. She started painting her atmospheric, minimalist landscapes just before moving to the Catskills from New York City. These meditative pieces cross the boundaries between realism and the contemporary art world, reaching the viewer’s heart without sentimentality or melodrama.
A full-time painter of many years, Scheele’s work has been collected nationally and internationally through galleries in the Hudson Valley, New York City, New Jersey, Oregon, Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod, and elsewhere around the nation. These collections include the Queens, the Samual Dorsky and the Tyler Museums of Art; the Provincetown Artists Association and Museum, American Airlines, Waterford Crystal, the Mayo Clinic, Kelsey Grammer, and Mark Ruffalo. Her work was featured in the films “Broken Flowers” and “Perfect Strangers”, and has been profiled and reviewed extensively in such publications as Architectural Digest, Hook Magazine, the Woodstock Times, Art New England and Cape Cod Art.
