A professional snowboarder in British
Columbia for eight years, Scott dedicated himself to
painting when he returned to Ontario and reacquainted
himself with friends Travis and Bewabon Shilling; the sons
of famous Canadian painter Arthur Shilling.
Over the past few years, Scott’s figurative
paintings have evolved into highly considered art works that
go beyond representation to examine inner life. His
landscapes are similarly intense studies that transcend
surface features and present the environment within the
framework of mood.
Along with the Shilling compound at Rama,
Scott has shown his works at galleries throughout Ontario,
and British Columbia. His work has attracted collectors from
across Canada.
“The best thing to do always is just keep
painting,” he says of his process, “…through all moods, all
highs, all lows, with money, without money… your attitude
about it is everything.”
“Art is faith… not an idol, but still a
faith.” |
