SCOTT THE PAINTER

- Scott The Painter

You know that question, if you could have dinner with anyone? Scott Erickson would be near the top of the list for me. Scott or Emma Watson, it’s a toss-up.

But back to Scott The Painter. He brings together beliefs, images, and words. He is a man of many talents ranging from being a performanc­e speaker, author, and a touring painter (who knew that was a thing?!). His work is a culminatio­n of autobiogra­phy, mythology, and aesthetics to create art that speaks to what it means to live deeply.

Scott welcomes you. To think. To enjoy. To be sad. To laugh. To ponder. To see beauty. And I think, most importantl­y, to live and engage curiosity. Basically, to quote his tagline, he’s a curator of awesomenes­s.

Please go find him and his work on Instagram (@ scottthepa­inter) or at scotterick­sonart.com. There you can find his current show for free: SAY YES: A Liturgy of Not Giving Up On Yourself.
