Here's a little info on Scott. He was born in Dubuque, Iowa in 1975. I earned my BFA from Iowa State University in 1998 with a major in Drawing Painting and Printmaking. At ISU I spent a semester studying in Rome. In 1999 I moved to Jersey City and in 2006 I moved again, to Brooklyn. In 2013 returned to my home state of Iowa. I currently live and work in Des Moines, Iowa.
