Gretchen Scherer

Teaches at Prema Yoga Institute

Gretchen Scherer received a BFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago and graduated with an MFA from Hunter College. Her paintings are about the blending of interior spaces that exist, either in the past or in our minds, and the way those visualizations can be so mysterious, full and empty all at the same time. They are small oil paintings that are very detailed and meant to be intimately experienced. Gretchen was a 2018 NYFA Artist Fellow in Painting. She is the recipient of a Graf travel grant to Berlin and has attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and The Vermont Studio Center Residency. Recent shows include Spoonbill Studio, Brooklyn, Silas Von Morisse Gallery, Brooklyn, C.Grimaldis Gallery, Baltimore, and Anna Marra Contemporanea, Rome. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
