About Artist:
Michael is a graduate of Simon Fraser University with a degree in human geography. He is surrounded by art and artists; painting alongside Travis and Bewabon Shilling. "The essence of painting is responding to an experience. Whether it be a model, a still life, or a mindscape, painting feels like an honest and truthful moment of reflection." Scott's paintings have evolved into highly considered artworks that go beyond representation to examine the human condition. His landscapes are similarly intense studies that transcend surface features and present the environment within the framework of mood.
