About the Artist:
He opted a career in finance. But he soon realized his office job could not offer the energy and interest which he got from art. Before trying the paintings of old masters, he just started his entry by making simple sketches of his friends. Scott started studying art in the evenings with Ruth Stroik at the American University.
