Born in 1971, Scott grew up in South Florida, where he discovered his love of drawing. As
a young boy, he recreated drawings from comic books he read. His interest in art
continued throughout high school. After graduating from high school, Scott enlisted in the
United States Marine Corps. His drawing was put on hold for four years.
During college, at Florida State University, he took a drawing class and rediscovered his
interest in art. Scott majored in Graphic Design, and took painting classes and workshops
to fulfill his credit requirement for a bachelors degree. This sparked a passion for oil
painting, and a desire to learn more. Scott took an art history class on 17th century Dutch
painters. Scott recalls, “I saw Frans Hals' work and became enamored." This led him to a
study of Renaissance painters and Impressionism. Representational Impressionism
would become the foundation upon which Scott’s painting was built.
After college, he worked as a graphic artist during the day, studying oil painting during
evenings and weekends. His goal was always that of becoming a full time artist. He read
all the books he could find about oil painting, and visited museums and galleries to study
art in person. When he moved to Texas, opportunities arose that allowed him to finally
achieve his goal of being a professional artist.
Scott resides in San Antonio where he balances family life with painting. His award
winning work is currently shown at New Braunfels Art Gallery. He also participates in
shows at Coppini Fine Art Academy, where he teaches a beginning oil painting class.
Scott has attended workshops under the guidance of Dan Gerhartz, Morgan Weistling,
Scott Burdick, and Janice Hindes. He credits time spent painting from life, and the
mentoring of Gladys Roldan de Moras as factors in his artistic growth. Some other artists
Scott admires and emulates are: John Singer Sargent, Richard Schmid, and Anders
Zorn.
