Juror of Selection
Bill Scott
Bill Scott is an American painter known for his vivid abstractions. With an underlying patchwork of organic forms and bright colors, Scott evokes the sensations and textures of nature. Born in 1956 in Haverford, PA, he grew up with a love of Impressionism. He went on to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts during the late 1970s. In the early 1980s he lived and painted for several years in France. Over the course of his career, Scott has continued to produce harmonious works that invoke both nature and human imagination. He lives and works in Philadelphia, PA. His works are held in the collections of the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, among others.
