Elizabeth Lewis Scott
Elizabeth Lewis Scott believes that there are no shortcuts when creating art and she delights in the details. Her drawings and paintings of horses, cattle, donkeys, wildlife and western life are filled with the little details that give life and authenticity to her work.
She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Arts from Principia College, Elsah, Illinois. She then further honed her craft painting en plein air across Europe. She worked almost entirely on equine subjects early in her career, adding wildlife and western subjects in the mid-1990s.
Scott’s work has been widely exhibited and recognized, including the Kimbel E. Oelke Award for Excellence in Painting, the Else Tuckerman Award for Excellence in Classic Equine Portraiture, and purchase awards into the permanent collections of The Kentucky Derby Museum and Energen Corporation. She has taught fundamental drawing, painting, and equine art classes at the Kentucky Horse Park, the Huntsville Museum of Art in Alabama, and the Booth Museum of Western Art. She is the official artist for the Charleston Cup steeplechase.
