KlassArt Bio

      My name is Kay Scott, currently based in Atlanta, Georgia. My artistic exploration began in the 3^rd grade with a great deal of human graphite portraits, landscape drawings, sketches and doodles. This progressed from amateur 2D outlines and sketches in a basic notepad or sketchbook, to large full detailed 3D realistic portraits of friends and family on canvas paper by 9^th grade. My most favored projects were anything pertaining to realism of people portraits and human figure drawings from reference photos and developing human characters from imagination. I was most inspired by Realism artists such as Jean-Francois Millet, James Guthrie, Gustave Courbet and Winslow Homer to name a few. I’ve continued my graphite portraits with heavy inspiration from Diego Fazio, Paul Lung, Neda Sajadi and Arinze Stanley. By 11^th grade I ventured additionally into Graphic Arts, Graphic Design, creating art and ideas via computer based art softwares. In 2005 I began Graphic Design courses to build my knowledge in designing professional business collateral; conceptual logos, flyers, banners, billboards, newsletters, brochures, business plan books etc. I focused heavily on professional business logos as visual concepts is my strength. I have many projects over the years reflecting my skill and experience.

           In 2016, a close passing friend firmly suggested that I begin painting. I was initially unsure of my interest but, as usual, willing to try. For 3.5 years I shared my new hobby as “I’m Not a Painter but I Paint”. As difficult as it was, my patience, constant practice and 5 year goal to improve on a higher level has taken me beyond my own expectations. Painting is now my additional current passion. I am a Graphite Portrait Artist, Graphic Artist and Painter.
