Scott, an Ormond Beach resident since 1999, was raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. He obtained a four-year art degree from Hussian School of Art, Philadelphia. After graduation from art school, Scott was employed by Hallmark Cards to create flower settings and wildlife greeting cards. He later worked for the St. Petersburg Times for fifteen years as a graphic artist, where a large part of his responsibility was to illustrate the outdoors pages. While at the Times, Scott created an illustrated column that ran once a week entitled, "The Nature of Florida". He wrote about and illustrated a different Florida species each week.

In the mid- 1980s Scott moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he was the art director of the local newspaper for eight years. After retuning to Florida, Scott worked as a graphic artist for the Orlando Sentinel newspaper for eight years and for the Daytona Beach News-Journal for six years.

Scott, an avid falconer, appreciates wildlife and the outdoors. His appreciation for nature and wildlife is reflected in the realism of his work. Scott seeks to share his enthusiasm for nature with others via his acrylic paintings and wire/mixed media sculptures.

Scott's wire sculptures evolved from an art school assignment to make an animal out of one continuouis piece of wire. Scott made an iguana (as he happened to have a live model at the time). Although the use of one continuous piece of wire is no longer done, the wire process has evolved from experimentation with various types of wire and materials used to cover and form the animal or bird. Today's wire sculptures involve three gauges of wire covered with casting cloth and various hardeners. The concept of casting cloth as "skin" makes it exciting to work with positive and negative space on the bird or animal.

Scott's work has been recognized throughout the United States. He is a State of Indiana upland game bird stamp contest winner and he also designed the Florida bass automobile license plate. Additionally, Scott has done past prints for the Wild Turkey and Ducks Unlimited (St. Petersburg Chapter).
