Artists & Makers Studios Welcomes
Christina Scherer and her Exhibit
“I Used to Write Poetry”
Opening November 1, 2025
(San Gabriel, CA) – Artists & Makers Studios is pleased to present Christina Scherer’s body of paintings entitled, “I Used to Write Poetry.” Scherer began this body of work with poems – some borrowed, some her own. Each painting was created not to illustrate a line, but to translate its vibration into color, motion, and memory. Scherer’s process begins with water – blessed, sung over, and attuned with the tones of crystal bowls. This practice infuses the medium of paint with sound and intention, transforming the paint into something living, something resonant. In this series, that resonance carries the essence of poetry – not through language, but through atmosphere. For Scherer, the title “I Used to Write Poetry” is both a confession and a truth: “There are things I can no longer put into words. The language of my paintings is the only way I know how to hold them. Sometimes words cannot reach what we feel, but a brushstroke can. What I hope for this work is not comprehension, but sensation. That viewers feel something stir – an echo, a memory, a moment of presence. That the paintings might act as poems themselves; read not with the mind but felt with the body.”
Christina Scherer is an actress and painter. She returned to her practice during the pandemic, when the pause in acting work created space to reconnect with visual art. Scherer graduated from the Milan Art Institute in 2021 and in 2023 had her first solo exhibited at Revelry Gallery, Louisville, KY. Her acting career includes roles in The Intern, Grey’s Anatomy, and True Blood. Her work in both film and fine art continues to explore emotion and storytelling.
