Gilmore Scott lives in Utah. His identity as an artist and his Navajo heritage are profoundly intertwined. Scott’s mother is a rug weaver and silversmith. Scott grew up watching his mom create rug patterns. Many of the geometric patterns in Scott’s work are inspired by rug weaver’s designs. Scott described his work as follows: “The mediums which I work with are watercolors, acrylics and color pencils. I do at times like to mix all three mediums to complete a piece of work. My use of colors are strong and bold. My images and subjects are interpretations of how I view my culture, my Dine (Navajo) heritage. My subjects are of the high desert southwest landscapes and Navajo culture. I enjoy incorporating geometric designs that Navajo rug weavers are known for and also paint the open landscape vistas of my home area. These are just a few subjects which inspire my imagination.”
