John Scott

My name is John Scott. I am a self taught oil painter whose journey began two years ago with a simple bucket list goal which quickly evolved into a daily practice and creative anchor. I mainly paint still lifes and landscapes and blend my observation with my intuition to transform everyday subjects into vibrant explorations of emotional energy, use of bold brushstrokes, unexpected color, and expressive mark-making. 

Originally a graffiti artist, I try to bring that same fearless rhythm and fast expressive layering to the canvas, pushing color to its limits while keeping a sense of harmony. Painting has given me the permission to slow down, stay present, and connect with the world in a more intentional way.
