Aileen Scott

Aileen-Marie Scott has always been blessed to live an artistic life. Not being able tosit still, Aileen became an actress and worked in the field for most of her life. Whenshe directed a play about Mark Rothko she was reminded of her love of paintingand grabbed some canvases, brushes, and paints and never looked back. Aileen isan abstract artist, and paints from her emotions and her life.

“In theater, every sooften you have moments when things become so real the world goes away and itis just you and your craft. With painting it happens most every time. That peace.That centeredness. That giving over to craft. It’s like a prayer. And that’s what it’sall about.”

From the ArtistI will paraphrase Tennessee Williams, Glass Menagerie to describe my pieces.These are memory pieces. Being memory pieces, they are dimly painted. They arefragments of memory. It is not realistic. I am the painter of the pieces and a character in them.
