ARTIST PROFILE

An Abstract Geometric Visual Journey

Scott's disability is a significant influence on his artwork and has shaped his distinctive visual style, ranging from abstract acrylic painting to digital art and macro photography. With over 40 years of experience in creating art, Scott earned his BFA with Honors from Parsons School of Design in NYC.

During the 90s, Scott participated in various group exhibitions in NYC before taking a hiatus from digital art and photography to manage his Large Format Printing business in Buffalo, N.Y. Inspired by Mark Rothko's color field paintings and captivated by shapes, Scott is also connected to the late Frederick Law Olmsted.

Following a car accident in 2017 that left his dominant hand and right side disabled from a TBI, Scott transitioned to painting solely with his left hand. Despite spasticity in his right hand, he uses it to sign his artwork and employs a straight line technique with tape. Rekindling his passion for painting shortly before the pandemic, Scott began experimenting with his left hand for drawing and painting, a process accelerated by the events of 2020, aiding him in managing stress and isolation.

Scott now uses a foot brace for right side drop foot but continues to engage in painting, drawing, website design, and teaching art classes.
 

He even mastered driving with his left foot to attend art events and navigate Buffalo.

Opting to resume painting and employ his non-dominant hand (left), Scott now creates abstract acrylic geometric paintings, digital art, and photo digital art. He indulges in macro photography in his wildflower garden and is open to commissions and private art lessons. Additionally, he conducts acrylic fluid painting classes for enjoyment.
