For the past 29 years, he has been combining his skills as artist and designer on canvas and in the landscape. His paintings evolve through an intuitive approach that requires a dynamic medium. Oil paint provides the flexibility to allow Scott to move through many scenarios and dialogues with the paint.
Originally from New York, Scott lived in Florida for 25 years before moving to Seattle, WA. After 20 years in the northwest he recently relocated to rural Vermont. Scott brings a unique variety of experience and influence to his art. His journeys to Mexico, China, Central America and the Caribbean have influenced his color palette and sense of style. His experiences as a professional musician are evident in the rhythm and movement in his paintings. The structural and sculptural qualities seen in his work are informed by his extensive career as a landscape architect.
Patrons of Scott's work often comment on the lyrical, narrative quality of the pieces. They are crafted in the tradition of short stories, passages of improvisational music and poetry. Movement and rhythm, line, form and color are the tools that provide links to the evolving story line.
These ‘stories' or ‘songs' unfold as an abstract translation of Scott's inspiration and perspective. Scott invites us, the audience, to participate in the dialogue through our individual and unique interpretation.
Scott enjoys serving as both instructor and mentor to a growing number of beginning and experienced painters at his studio.
