Iris Scott

Iris Scott is a contemporary artist based in New Mexico. She follows her family’s storytelling tradition of magical realism by building the worlds she imagines with her hands. Iris stumbled upon finger painting when a serendipitous lack of clean brushes prompted her to finish a painting with her fingertips and overnight she committed to leaving her brushes behind. She worked exclusively as an oil finger painter from 2010 to 2020. Iris' artwork covers a multitude of subject matter from animals to landscapes to florals and more.
