Brett Scheifflee specializes in producing naturalistic American landscape painting and has major focuses on the north east, the west and the coastal south.
Brett Scheifflee was born in Buffalo, New York and was interested in drawing for as long as he can remember. "At some point in my early adult life, I began to recall only the haziest memories of a deep fascination for oil painting. Maybe it was the colorful tubes, a fragile painted surface once admired on a museum wall, or could it have been the old printed illustrations and paintings I frequently flipped through as a child?" "Like anyone in high school, I was forced to make the choice of what to do with the rest of my life. Art seemed like such an impossible thing to pursue, but one day while sitting at the kitchen table looking through college brochures, it finally seemed to click. Standing in front of me was my mother, a previously talented painter herself, whose abilities have been hindered by Parkinson's disease. As she ironed the pile of clothes with her once steady hand, I knew if I had any talents they shouldn't be wasted. What seemed like not long after this moment, I was in my parents van heading towards college to study illustration and hone my skills." After graduating with an illustration portfolio and a handful of trial paintings, Brett set to work and hasn't stopped since. He moved to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2012 and joined the Ann Korologos Gallery as an emerging artist in 2013.
