ARTIST STATEMENT:
Many of my recent encaustic pieces represent water. Water symbolizes different states of human emotion…reflecting the movement of life without boundaries.
The beauty of living here in the Puget Sound area is the proximity to water. I love to kayak and be close to the water. The feeling of being surrounded by water naturally permeates my work.
My recent pieces are done by using the ancient art form of encaustics. I paint with melted bees wax stabilized with damar resin. This process requires repeated application of melted wax, paint, papers and objects. Each layer is fused with a heat gun.
This multi-layering process gives my work a fluid look and feeling of great depth.
Objects float, for example, to show instability in a transi-tional period of life. Ordinary things, often overlooked in our busy world, tumble and surge through the planes of the canvas support.

BIOGRAPHY:
Lynn Scott earned her living selling folk art so she could stay home and raise her three children. Scott became so passionate about art that she enrolled in art classes at the local community college in San Diego.
Scott says, "When my son was in late elementary school, I was asked to put up 20 pieces of my work in an art class. A representative from San Francisco Art Institute (SFAII) came to evaluate and critique my work. Much to my delight he liked my body of work and offered me a scholarship to SFAII."
For nearly two years Scott commuted between San Francisco and San Diego to complete her Bachelor's Degree.
Scott's hard work in school was rewarded when she was chosen to represent her Art Department as artist in residence at Oxford University/Ruskin School of Fine Art and Drawing.
In 2005, Scott moved with her family to Edmonds, an art community just north of Seattle.
Scott says,"In Edmonds I have been very active in the arts, curating shows and continuing to create art. I have done a series on 'sense of place', moving after spending a lifetime in one city. A series on 'The Puget Sound' and the moods of the water and the connection to moods in human nature. And a series on 'feminine objects and entanglements' with beads and ribbons."
