About — Scott Garrett

I am an artist, Illustrator and ceramicist, who lives by the sea in Hastings, East Sussex.

I have been an illustrator for the last 30 years, working for a wide variety of clients worldwide.

In recent years I've also been developing my general art practice, of which my Illustration skills and thinking have had a strong influence.

I focus on the simple things, basic buildings/structures and primitive figures and heads… people and their shelters (and some Beasts!).

Within this basic framework I can explore colour, composition, marks, surface and texture, or just a simple shift of character and mood.

Always trying to capture something that is simple, genuine and human.

There's no fuss or frills, it just is. No deep message, just exploration, making things I want to make.

This is just how i live, these paintings and prints hang on my walls, the ceramics are displayed on my shelves.

The cups I drink from daily, holding and studying them, informing the next round of making.

Always on, always thinking, always creating. Life and Art.
