Following
her training at the Kansas City Art Institute, Sandy Scott worked
as an animation background artist in the motion picture industry.
In the 1970’s she focused on etching and printmaking moving to
sculpture during the 1980’s. A licensed pilot for over thirty
years, she feels her knowledge of aerodynamics has been helpful in
achieving the illusion of movement in her sculpture of birds.
Sandy enjoys traveling
between her studios in Colorado and Canada. In both settings, she
is surrounded by wildlife, the source of her compositions. The overall
shape and gesture of the animal is her focus as she seeks to convey
its essence.
Ms. Scott has been
acquired by the National Wildlife Museum, Jackson, Wyoming, the RW
Norton Museum, Shreveport, Louisiana, the Museum of Arts and Crafts,
San Antonio, Texas and Margaret Thatcher, Great Britain. She has received
awards from the National Academy of Design, New York, Allied Artists,
New York, American Artist’s Professional League, the National
Academy of Western Art (Gold Medal for Sculpture) and the Thomas Gilcrease
Museum which held a retrospective exhibition.
