Scott Coleman

R. Scott Coleman is a native of Jackson, Georgia and it is there that he maintains his permanent studio. Scott received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Georgia, where he studied with Lamar Dodd. After graduating Scott spent almost four years in the U.S. Navy and served his passion for travel - he made three Mediterranean cruises and one around the world cruise. After completing his military duties, Scott continued his travels by remaining abroad for six months on an extended art tour of Europe, Scandinavia and the Middle East. In 1980, he was invited to participate as a working and exhibiting artist with the Georgia Festival of the Arts in Italy. During the last ten years Scott has traveled to England, Jamaica, the Canal Zone, Greece, France, and Mexico (nine times) on painting expeditions. Scott's studies at the University of Georgia were in preparation for a career in graphic design and illustration. After six years in television art with the Georgia and Mississippi Educational Networks, he began working as a free-lance artist in 1973. In addition to his graphic work, Scott has emerged through the years as a noted watercolor painter. In this endeavor, he has been rewarded with sixteen one-man exhibitions and has received awards in a number of regional and national competitions. His work is included in many corporate and private collections. In addition to his graphic work and painting career, Scott continues to conduct watercolor workshops throughout the southeastern U.S. and the south of France. He has also served as a judge for many festivals and exhibitions. He was honored when the team on which he served won first place in the national design competition of the Rose Garden (a segment of the National Garden) at the foot of the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
