A Hingham resident for the last 15 years, Scott is a near lifelong native of Winnipeg , Manitoba .
Scott has worked as a professional oil painter for the last 15 years, with a hobbyist devotion for many years prior. She primarily works in oil in the plein air (on site) style, envisioning local landscapes. Her paintings lend to the smaller scale, usually canvas or linen on board. “A tiny jewel of a painting can be just as powerful as a large mural,” said Scott, “I like the intimate scale. I even lean towards collecting small art myself.”
In style, Scott prefers a looser, slightly unfinished look to her work, as opposed to a slick "photorealist" one. “I consider my work to be a bit of a record of my recent life. I'm not focused on the marketing aspect of art, I just have to paint, so that is what I devote my time to.”
Over the last few years, Scott has dedicated her skills to portraying local New England themes. This exhibit will offer recent selections from nearby Duxbury, Scituate , hometown Hingham and radiate further to Cape Cod and the Mt. Washington Valley in New Hampshire . Much of the exhibit will be focused on coastal work and landscape pieces.
Locally Scott has shown publicly at the Hingham Library as well as the community center. She has won dozens of local and regional prizes, both here and in Canada . However, Diane would prefer that people relate to her work on a personal level and judge it on its own merits, rather than focusing on her accolades. "Buying a painting should be about resonance, about being moved not about logic and investment spending," said Scott.
