Darrell Loy Scott

Artist's Resume

Darrell was born in eastern Oklahoma and grew up in northern California. In 1968 he enlisted in the Air Force and served in Laos and Thailand during the Vietnam conflict. Following his discharge from military service, he moved to Kentucky and Puerto Rico. He finally settled in Louisiana where he worked as a carpenter for thirty years.

An intuitive painter, Darrell brings his life experiences and travels to his art making. His carpentry skills have enabled him to build his own cedar frames as well as the wooden surfaces for his acrylic paintings. His keen interest in aboriginal art is reflected in his use of bright colors, high contrast, and semi-pointillism in his paintings and graphics.

Today Darrell is best known for his “folk” paintings, stylized figurative acrylics on hardboard, depicting the rural gentility of African Americans in the South. His older works of oils on canvas show his true love of the landscape.

While earlier paintings were signed “D. Scott”, Darrell began using his middle name to readily mark those works which he created during the new millennium. He said, “Someone once told me to remember that what I put in my paintings will last forever… I don’t think about painting for other people… or whether the painting will sell or not. I paint because it makes me happy.”

Darrell currently lives in Arkansas where he works full time at his art.
