Lindsay Scott Biography:
Born in 1955 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe (Formerly Rhodesia) nationally renowned artist Lindsay Scott is acclaimed for her dynamic and precise oil paintings and her exquisitely detailed pencil drawings, all of which convey the drama and spirit of African Wildlife. With a background as an illustrator, a botanical researcher and a biologist, Scott is an avid observer of nature, and her art, prints and posters reflect her close study of animal life, conveying a candid sense of firsthand experience while capturing intimate emotional moments. Growing up in her native Zimbabwe, Scott was surrounded by a tropical setting, and she spent her youth watching wildlife and learning to survive in the bush. She began to draw at an early age, and her skills were recognized by a high school art teacher, who encouraged her to pursue art as a career. Accordingly, she moved to Capetown, South Africa, to attend the Michealis School of Fine Art. At that time, the school was emphasizing abstract art, and the representational work that interested Scott was discouraged. She therefore supplemented her studies by taking courses in botany, biology and zoology and doing field sketched of plants and wildlife. To continue her studies, she transferred to the University of Minnesota, where she earned a degree in fine art and minored in biology.
