Deirdre Schanen
"Waiting to Catch Up, " Oil Painting signed by Deidre Schanen

2004

About the Item

"Waiting to Catch Up" is an original oil painting on canvas signed on the verso by the artist Deidre Schanen. It depicts a field of yellow and a field of blue separated by a green line. The yellow portion is textured with vertical and horizontal brush strokes. Each section has subtle variations of color. 66" x 66" art Deirdre Schanen grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan in the small town of Port Washington, Wisconsin. This early Midwestern influence informs most of her paintings. They reflect the tension between the lake's serene vastness and the complex confusion of rocks and detritus washed up upon its shores. Ms. Schanen moved to New Jersey in 1979 and lived there for 23 years. She received her Masters of Art during this period, as well as studying with Ronnie Landfield at the Art Student's League of New York. Deirdre and her husband are currently living in a Chicago suburb. Ms. Schanen does not plan her paintings in advance making the end product always a surprise. She approaches the broad plains of the empty canvas with the excitement and apprehension of the unknown. Everything develops as she works. Often a piece is begun with a single pencil or ink marking that mark dictates the next mark, and that the next. Layers of paint or glaze are added until the process is finally finished.
