Artistic Practice
Originally from Calgary,
Scott is an established Artist.
To his credit, he has overseen
countless murals and projects
throughout his career.
He has been creating
and illustrating visual art
and murals for many years.
He holds a BFA with a
major in
Visual Communications
which was completed at the
AU of the Arts in Calgary.
He is a person with
an accomplished work ethic;
made of grit
and determination.
Making art has been
a stabilizing force in is life,
keeping him grounded
and disciplined.
Living as an
openly gay/queer person,
his autistic/neurodivergent
nature
can be easily
misunderstood
in daily life.
However, he believes
these traits shine through
when making his Art.
He finds that he is
more understood and
connects well with people,
when communicating
through Art.
His inspiration comes from
Fauvism, Cubism, Album Art,
Psychedelic art of the 70s,
Surrealism and
queer/pop art of the 80s.
Growing up working class
and raised in a
diverse multi-cultural
neighbourhood
has given him quite an
enriched perspective on life.
Through the years,
honing his skills.
Eventually equipping himself
with tools such as his
trusted intuition and
genuine experience,
when approaching his process.
His work is usually
celebratory in nature.
The Art he creates is
essentially about HOPE.
The choice to be able
to live our shared life
experiences,
as an ever-evolving family
of collective people.
This positive outlook
on humanity has always
been a recurring theme
in his work.
He has always
enjoyed exploring
his imagination
when it comes to
his art practice.
Over the years
continually experimenting
with his style.
You will notice
on this website
that his catalogue of art
has a distinct flavour
in each series;
as well as showing a joy
and commitment to his craft.
Through his Art,
Scott aims to bridge gaps,
fostering connection
and understanding
among diverse
audiences.
He also finds
having other outlets in
art-making to be
quite liberating
as well;
making time for his
writing and music.
Realizing that
singing and playing
original songs
on guitar in multiple open mics
in the last few years
is a great alternative outlet.
As a working artist,
he leaves himself
open to every new opportunity.
He will give extreme flexibility and
pay utmost priority
to any project
he is currently involved in.
