Sally Schaedler, schaedlerart.com, is a New York artist whose abstract paintings are characterized by a rhythmic arrangement of curvilinear forms, transparent overlays and versatile colorations. She develops harmony, depth and balance, much like a perfectly arranged musical composition.

She develops harmony, depth and balance, much like a perfectly arranged musical composition. About her art she explains, “Texture and depth, intersecting spatial forms, as well as a love of detail have become the focus of my painting.” The artist has numerous collections throughout the United States and Europe and has produced many works on commission in different mediums. Her many exhibitions include those at Monmouth Museum, Lindcroft, New Jersey; Columbus Museum of Fine Arts, Columbus Ohio; and Wustum Museum, Racine, Wisconsin. In NYC, she has shown her art at Cork Gallery, Lincoln Center, and the Sylvia Wold and PoKim Gallery, among others.Sally provides the viewer with the ethereal experience of finding images and shapes within and behind other shapes and provides the viewer with “safe passage” through the work...much as we all “manuever through life and find our way”. Her compositions invite the viewer to reach their own conclusions about what the symbolism may represent. She creates seemingly endless variations of contrast and vibrant interaction, raised and recessed surfaces, glossy and matte combined finishes.A multiple award winning artist, she has received Awards of Excellence from Manhattan Arts International. Most recently her artwork was selected for “The Healing Power of Color” which was presented on the Healing Power of Art and Artists online art Gallery. Other recent awards include ACA Publishing Contract Award, Cincinnati,Ohio, Cecilia Picon Award, National association of Women Artists, New York, National Art League, Douglaston, New York. She is represented by Piermont Flywheel Gallery, Piermont, New York.Sally earned her BFA from Washington University, St Louis Missouri.website: www.Schaedlerart.com Prints available.
