Don Scott
A native Virginian now living in central Ohio, Don Scott creates non-representational mixed media art that explores the dynamic beauty that exists in the natural world. While his work is rooted in the photographic image, Don experiments with a variety of mediums and alternative processes to express his artistic vision.
Don is also the co-founder and former director and curator of Highline Coffee Art Space (now Kittie's Highline Art Space), an intimate art venue featuring exhibits by emerging, mid-career, and established artists who live and work in the central Ohio area. The Art Space is recognized as one of central Ohio's suburban art galleries not to be missed.
Artist Statement
From one season to the next, our natural environment offers a canvas of intricate beauty, but we must seek it out in detail to fully discover and appreciate its marvelous splendor. My minimalistic disposition leads me to take a closer view of what nature freely offers and interpret it from an abstract perspective.
While I experiment with many mediums as creative tools, much of my work remains rooted in the photographic image.
Creating art, no matter the mediums or techniques used, can be a lifelong odyssey of delightful joy. After experiencing my work, I encourage viewers to explore the wonders of nature on their own: look, seek, and discover.
Thank you, Greater Columbus Arts Council
Many thanks to the Greater Columbus Arts Council for the generous Funds for Artists grant in 2023 to continue my experimental work in mixed media and archival pigment prints.
Additional thanks goes to Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther, Columbus City Council, and the Franklin County Commissioners for continuing to fund the future vitality of arts and culture in Columbus and beyond.
The Arts Council's generous support of area artists helps make central Ohio a great place to live, work, and create.
