Scott Stan, WSI

 

​I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, but it wasn't until 2015 that my friends and family persuaded me to open an art business.  I am so thankful to them for their persistence. Watercolor is my favorite medium, and I sometimes enjoy combining ink with watercolor to add some fine details to my work.  My paintings give others a chance to see the world that I see and to share in that experience.

​

In 2019, my painting, "Chestnut Sided Warbler" was selected for the Indiana Watercolor Societies annual juried art show and displayed at Newfields Indianapolis Museum of Art.  In 2023, a second painting, "Sora Rail" was selected for the annual juried show earning "signature member" status in the Indiana Watercolor Society.

 

Currently, I am in my 17th year as the women’s soccer coach at Taylor University.  Before that, I spent 8 years at Manchester College coaching the women’s soccer team and being a professor in the exercise and sports science department.  My teaching career also includes 8 years of teaching high school biology and environmental science  where I preferred to make detailed drawings for my students instead of just putting up words on the whiteboard.

 

When I paint, I want people to see the world that I see and to see it free of distractions.  When I am bird watching, fishing, or taking a hike in the wilderness, I feel close to God.  So much of God's creation is t is right there for us to discover.  My paintings let you see what I have discovered drawing you into my experiences, and I hope you enjoy the experience.

My paintings have been sold to collectors in many locations: Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina, North Carolina, Arkansas, New York, Alabama, California, Texas, Tennessee, and internationally in Canada, England, Mexico, Australia, China,and Togo – West Africa.  If you are interested in commission work, I can be reached through the contact page on this website.
