"Scott's paintings are delicate, yet powerful. His command of color just blows usaway....not in a 'look how much color I can paint' kind of way, but in a more sophisticated, refined manner." - Informed Collector
I can not imagine a life without expressing it in paint.
I feel we have a responsibility as artists to share our vision and emotions with others to somehow give this world balance. What kind of balance? I am not sure. I just want to remain curious, honest and passionate about what I choose to express on canvas.
I am an artist with questions.
