ABOUT THE ARTIST

Scott originates from South Carolina, but has made Rhode Island his home since 1993. Scott has been painting for over 10 years. His use of bold color and defined spaces draw you into his expressionistic paintings of still lifes, landscapes and figures. “I have struggled with developing an Artist Statement for years, trying to put to words my need to create art. The best I can do is to tell you that I need to create art because it is who I am and what I need to do. It is not just about composition, light, color, texture, subject or design. It’s all of it coming together and working as a painting.”
