Ryniee DeCheser

Ryniee DeCheser creates paintings that explore movement, perception, and the emotional currents of both the natural world and lived experience. Inspired by the space between turbulence and stillness, her paintings translate these influences into abstract forms that hold energy and quiet in dynamic tension.

While earning her BFA in Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design, DeCheser developed a deep interest in reportage illustration. Drawing from life, she became fascinated by the ways people moved individually and collectively, capturing fleeting moments through rhythmic, fluid mark-making. This early focus on movement continues to inform her abstract practice today.

Mothering her autistic son further transformed DeCheser's understanding of attention, sensory experience, and the subtle patterns that shape everyday life. Together, these experiences have deepened her sensitivity to rhythm and relationships, becoming the foundation of a visual language that navigates interior landscape.

Working through color and space, DeCheser creates spatial fields in which suspended forms emerge, dissolve, and reconfigure. Rather than depicting a specific place, her paintings evoke shifting atmospheres that hover between the familiar and the imagined.
