Iris Scott is a groundbreaking oil finger-painting artist, widely credited as the first professional artist to exclusively paint with her fingertips. For a decade, from 2010 to 2020, she committed to finger painting alone, creating richly textured, tactile works without ever picking up a brush. Her iconic finger-painted Shakin’ Wet Dogs collection, thick with impasto and alive with swirling energy, exemplifies this style. Each piece captures the carefree spirit of dogs mid-shake, their joyful motion frozen in vivid, expressive strokes—a theme that’s become beloved among collectors.

Her stunning works have graced the pages of Smithsonian, Forbes, New York Magazine, New York Post, and Artnet, earning her widespread acclaim. Scott’s relentless quest for innovation has led her to yet another unexpected discovery in her own garage…a humble air compressor, typically used for inflating car tires, has sparked another painting breakthrough: the birth of “Air Painting.” With this latest painting innovation, Scott cements her status as one of the most influential and boundary-pushing artists of her generation.
