Scott’s distinctive and award-winning pencil studies began in his first college art class. When given the assignment of studying and experimenting with the style and technique of a favorite master, he chose the pencil and chalk drawings of Michelangelo. The school purchased one of his drawings and hosted his first one-man show.
He strives for simplicity of composition in both his pencil drawings and his pastel landscapes where he uses a limited color palette along with light and tonal value to create mood and reflection.

Art has always been a part of my life, and the Pacific Northwest offers a continually changing palette from which to draw inspiration. My studio shelves are filled with reference books and collections of bugs, feathers and dragonflies that I refer to for the accuracy and detail recognized in my work. I am a self-taught artist, and I believe my work is quite unique. I am frequently asked where I studied Oriental design; to me, this just comes natually. If it looks balanced and feels right, that is the way it goes down on paper. In years past I have worked with watercolor and oil, and truly appreciate fine-detail graphite pencil work. In 1997 I discovered that working with colored pencil further enhanced this detail with more depth and precision. A lot of time and patience is required to complete a colored pencil painting, and inexorably it is this same quiet time that fills specific therapeutic and meditative needs in my life. When I am working, my thoughts return to the quiet places of the woods and ponds, and I strive to emulate this in my work. If you feel a sense of quietude and tranquility when viewing my paintings, then I hav ebeen successful in conveying my thoughts and feelings to you through my work, and have hopefully given you a quiet place of your own.
