With a quiet lyricism, Re McBride’s paintings explore nostalgic feelings of sensation and place. In cemeteries, glowing night skies, twinkling Christmas lights, her work summons memories hard to put in words, like the sound of crunching snow, or the color of graffiti through a speeding train window.

Re holds a BFA in Painting and Art History from Tyler School of Art and an MFA from Rutgers University. She paints at her kitchen table in Brooklyn, and her studio in Queens.

We were lucky to visit her in her studio to look through years of work, talk about what painting feels like, and accompany her on a special New York pilgrimmage she makes every year.

Thank you for watching.
