Katie Ré Scheidt is a contemporary painter originally from Bronxville, NY with a background in psychology and finance. A 9/11 survivor, Scheidt stayed with her firm eight years after the tragedy to rebuild, and in 2010 made a major life change by trading in her finance career for a life in the country, with her focus on family and art. Scheidt’s "Second Act" blossomed as she began selling her work to designers and homeowners, and quickly gained gallery representation up and down the East Coast.
Scheidt has built a robust business in custom paintings ranging from abstracts and portraiture to commissioned landscapes and nudes. Gestural brushstrokes and a passion for color are characteristic to all of her pieces. Scheidt's work can be found in private collections worldwide. Her work currently hangs at various Auberge Resorts and Relais & Chateaux hotels in New England.
