Scott Worden has been fascinated with art his whole life. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, he currently lives in Bellingham, WA. Anyone who visits this gorgeous green area finds it impossible to disregard the breathtaking landscapes, a fact that Scott has not overlooked: “I hope my paintings reveal the beauty of the Northwest to people who have never had the opportunity to see for themselves.”
“Back when I was pin-striping cars I noticed I loved the look of color on a black background. The void of a black canvas creates a contrast intensifying any color – a trait that can’t be duplicated using common white backgrounds.”
With no formal art education other than his own rigid self-discipline he never forgets to credit the masters that influenced his art. “I love so many artists, but there are really only four artists that I can say really influenced my style: Bev Doolittle’s Native American realism and hidden imagery, Thomas Kincaid’s use of light, M.C. Escher’s thought-provoking illustrations, and Audrey Flack’s incredible airbrushing.”
