SEPTEMBER gUEST aRTIST - PAINTER, SCOTT LAMP
Scott P. Lamp
Artists Statement
I began my art journey in 1998 by signing up for local watercolor classes here in Gainesville and that got me started painting. I took a few workshops and practiced whatever I could learn. I discovered my favorite subject is the landscape, but I enjoy the occasional departure to capture some other inspiration. I thrive on the struggle of pushing myself in new directions, and enjoy wandering out of my comfort zone to learn a new approach or tackle a difficult subject (though I’m often heard grumbling in the process). I suppose this is what inspired me to shift from watercolor to acrylic and then to pastel.
I have won awards for paintings in each of the mediums that I work in, but right now I’m totally hooked on having my fingers covered in pastel dust. I have never taken a pastel class or workshop; learning mostly from trial and error, Pastel Journal magazine and a few online resources.
I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the artist community here in Gainesville; serving as President of the Gainesville Fine Arts Association and on the Harn Advisory Council, and participating in many workshops, exhibitions, and en plein air events. Today, I am particularly excited to exhibit my pastel landscapes at The Artisans Guild, a place synonymous with Gainesville art.
I enjoy talking to others about my artwork, so I encourage you to be brave and let me know what you think! I appreciate any attempts to describe an honest reaction to my art, it all helps me grow.
