Full Biography
Brian Scott’s name is inextricably linked to colour - wild and wonderful mixes of fanciful, fun and exciting hues that bring the west coast fishing boats, architecture and tumble-down buildings of our beloved coastal British Columbia into a new perspective. He now lives and works from his two studio galleries on Vancouver Island and Hornby Island.
Brian Scott, B.Ed., M.Ed., DFA Hon., received his Bachelor of Education from the University of British Columbia, and his Masters Degree in Art Education from Western Washington University. His Diploma of Fine Art was received with Honours from the Vancouver School of Fine Art.
Brian was on the Faculty of North Island College for 20 years where he taught drawing, colour theory and design in the Fine Art Programme. He also taught for the Emily Carr College and Design Outreach Programme for 14 years. In 2002 Brian accepted a Government appointment to the Board of the BC Arts Council.
Expressionist oil painting produced on location is Brian Scott's main passion. His emphasis on design and composition with a full spectrum of colour have become the trademark of his paintings.
Brian's works are in private and corporate collections in the U.K., Hong Kong, Germany, Holland, Norway, Switzerland, Australia, the U.S. and in his well-established Canadian market.
