Abstract Artist

Artist Statement

"I will paraphrase Tennessee Williams, Glass Menagerie, to describe my pieces.

”These are memory pieces. Being memory pieces, they are dimly painted. They are fragments of memory. They are not realistic. I am the painter of the pieces and also a character in them."

  • "Aileen Marie Scott is a truly remarkable abstract painter whose work transcends the canvas to evoke a profound emotional response. Her art is a beautiful, authentic expression of the human experience—thoughtful, deep, and utterly captivating. Each piece pulses with a visceral energy that draws you in, stirring feelings of pain, remorse, joy, anticipation, angst, fear, freedom, darkness, and light, memory and reality. Her paintings are far more than "pretty pictures"; they reach into the soul, inviting viewers to connect with the raw, unspoken emotions woven into every brushstroke. To experience her work is to feel alive, moved, and forever changed."

    - Noel Britton-Lvovsky, Actress/Director/Choreographer

  • "Wordsworth once said that "poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings." I feel the same way looking at Aileen's paintings. I can see--FEEL--emotions that she puts on the canvas. The painting that hangs in my workspace inspires me.”

    - Bill Walthall, Writer

  • “This piece feels alive - the greens and blues flowing together like a wave frozen in time. It brings both calm and movement into my space, and every glance reveals something new. Truly a work that stirs the soul.”

    - Michelle Revesz Chiocco

  • "Aileen possesses an insightful and profound way of transporting her life experiences onto the canvas. Her extensive experience and creative talent on stage are often a theme found throughout her work.
    Each painting is packed full of symbolism waiting to be discovered. Although her work is deeply personal I have found it relatable and inspiring."

    - Roxanne Burke, Photographer and Artist
