“ Rising Cloud Blank”

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. She has led color theory workshops at the Woodstock school of Art, at the Provincetown Artists Association and Museum, and for the Artists Association of Nantucket.   Scheele’s work is included in private and public collections nationwide and internationally including the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art (New Paltz, NY), the Queens Museum of Art, the Provincetown Artists Association and Museum, the Tyler Museum of Art (Tyler, TX), St. Joseph’s University (Philadelphia, PA), American Airlines, Waterford Crystal, Bessemer Trust Compa
