Bellingham artist Scott Ward creates paintings that are vibrant, yet subtle; vital and contemplative, and full of the light-hearted spirit that bridges the gap between the surreal and sublime, with images that speak not only to the eyes, but to the heart, mind and spirit as well. His paintings are a reflection of life in its manifold guises. Through the use of people, animals and stunning landscapes, all characterized by bold color, careful attention to light and shadow, graceful lines and an often startling juxtaposition, each work is a self-portrait of self expression for the artist.
Scott has worked as an artist and designer in advertising, clothing design, graphic design, theater design, landscape design, interior design and murals, and has shown work at many galleries around the country.
Whether a painting, print or note card, every piece of Scott Ward’s art is invested with his spirit, his soul, and his thought-provoking take on everyday life, yet still allows the outsider room in which to add their own meaning, depth and perception to the mix.
In May 2001, Scott debuted his greeting card line, which is based on his growing body of oil paintings. In the summer of 2014, Scott launched a line of art inspired products. In the spring of 2013 Scott, and partner Cameron, opened a home accessories store in Seattle - Current and Furbish. It is now the home of Scott Ward Art. In 2016, Current and Furbish and Scott Ward Art moved to the Fairhaven Village in Bellingham, WA.
Originally from the Minneapolis area, Scott studied commercial design and illustration at the University of Minnesota before moving to Seattle in 1989.
