Across the Universe

Living with advanced glaucoma that encroaches on her central vision, Scott’s focus has shifted from representational to abstract art, blurring the edges of reality and imagination. She thus tries to express the essence of an experience rather than reproduce an image of a subject. Scott’s acrylic abstract paintings and mixed-media pieces are layered with various textures and mediums. Color infuses drama, and she often incorporates published original poems. “Through art, I explore resilience and hope. “Many of my works are inspired by song lyrics and poetry. As my sight fades, art enables me to share my insights with others.”
