Veronica Schmitt

I paint lively and colorful snapshots of life, inviting the viewer to speculate about the story being depicted and suggesting the incredible diversity of our world. My work usually consists of figures and urban landscapes, but regardless of the subject or genre I choose, light is always the strongest element in my paintings. My visual approach reveals an interplay with shadow or reflections in relation to vibrant color. I am a French artist, formerly a graphic designer who became a fine art painter shortly after I moved to the United States. I was greatly influenced by my new environment, as well as California impressionist artists.
