Christie Scheele Portfolio: Mixed Media "In a newer series, I work on or with found objects — antique boxes, distressed cupboard doors, old slate blackboards with lovely stains and unravelings at the rim, vintage sifters, and the like. When using these objects, I adjust both my choice of imagery and the way I compose and lay in the paint to honor what is already there."
