Barbara Scott

The materiality of paint on canvas is inspiring.
Actions, energy, drawing, additions, and subtractions build the painting. Formal knowledge of painting complements the experimental in making the painting. All my encounters become like a life force that winds its way through the making of a painting. Serendipitous.

My paintings are in collections in Nova Scotia, Alberta, British Columbia, United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Germany, United States. (Los Angeles, New York City, Long Island, Florida, Chicago, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Cincinnati, Ohio, Aptos (California), Georgia State,Connecticut, New Jersey.
