Carl Scott, from Forest City, Arkansas always knew he would be a painter. From the moment his middle school art teachers encouraged him to become an artist, he worked to become an established painter in Memphis, TN.
Scott mentioned that he always grew up around art. His friends, his mom, and his mentors were all artists who inspired his own artistic trajectory, and so it made sense that this would be his life.
We talked for a while about some of his favorite paintings, and Carl actually stopped by our office well after the group interview to continue our initial conversation. Lately, he’s been inspired by a series of paintings of children’s faces from various ethnicities. The process of observing different people and researching all of the hues and tones that make up humanity has been greatly rewarding for him lately, allowing him to combine his love of painting and people in one.
