141. Eleanor Scott Davis: Abstract Artist

<p>Today's guest, Eleanor Scott Davis is an abstract expressionist painter based in Raleigh, North Carolina. She attended Wake Forest University where she studied English and Studio Art. She went on to earn a Masters of Fine Art in Creative Writing with a concentration in poetry. While the written word remains a passion, Eleanor Scott ultimately chose to forgo the pen for a paintbrush. She is attracted to abstract art because, like poetry, it leaves the door open for individual interpretation.</p> <p>Eleanor Scott considers her artistic process to be directly linked to her role as a mother. Joining her in her bright studio, you will often find one (or all three!) of her daughters. She is frequently pulled away mid-brushstroke by the needs of her children and has come to value these moments of distraction as a tool that strengthens her art, forcing her to step away, evaluate and return with fresh eyes. The result is a deeply-layered, richly-textured, and multidimensional use of color. She considers her work a chronicle of motherhood: a balance of energy, chaos, unpredictability, and pure joy.<br> <br> Eleanor Scott’s paintings have been featured in numerous publications and can be found in homes and corporate collections across the United States. We know listeners will love hearing her story!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/support</a>
