She attended Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, and later studied human anatomy at The Art Student’s League of NY in the late 1990s. Scott’s work focuses on non-traditional portraiture based on fingerprints informed by her education and interest in anatomy and forensics. Her subjects, whom she knows personally, are fingerprinted and interviewed. Beginning with observation, their fingerprints are reevaluated, reformulated, and retranslated through a painting process rooted in abstraction and intuitive decision making.

She has exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently with a solo exhibition in New York City at Art of Our Century Gallery, as well as group shows in Art Basel Miami, Aqua Art Fair, the Beddington Gallery in Bargemon, France, and the GemLuc Art Exposition in Monaco. Scott is currently represented in the South ...
