Welcome to my author's page. I write my books for my students and to share ideas and practices with you and anyone who loves to be outdoors, spending time observing. By visiting my website at www.alexiapaints.com you can join my instructional Art-news letter about once a month and can contact me with questions about your painting. I hope you will enjoy painting nature!

“To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again" -Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature."

Excerpt From: Alexia Scott. “NatureAndDesign” Apple Books.

Alexia Scott was born in central Ohio to a family that appreciated art and began painting early. She studied drawing and design at Kent State University, beginning her artistic career as an illustrator working for the US Geological Survey and North American Indian Handbook at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. She received her MFA in painting from The George Washington University. Alexia was a Lecturer of Fine Arts at Georgetown University, teaching Drawing and Color Drawing (Pastels). Her work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Naturalist Center and The Smithsonian National Zoological Park and private collections and exhibits around the US, Britain, Switzerland, and Australia.

"I enjoy painting out in the field, watching the changing light, advancing storms, and the constant parade of bugs and birds as I stand quietly at my easel and paint. Sharing ideas about painting, nature, and tranquility seemed like a good path forward, so I started to write as I taught, but in truth, the books have more illustrations than text - a picture is worth a thousand words."
