Bill Scott is a resident of San Antonio, Texas where he also maintains a studio. He is a self-taught wildlife artist with an insatiable need to document our wildlife with his transparent and acrylic paintings.

Many hours are spent observing, sketching, and photographing wildlife in preparation for a painting. His special interest lies in the lies in an natural region where the artist sees a definite decline in the ecosystem and, in his personal opinion, the damage done to these areas is not reversible. Therefore, it is necessary that artists visually document what now exists in an attempt to bring to the public's attention that these are critical losses and further, to understand that once the animals are gone, eventually humans will follow.

"As an artist of Nature, I have an obligation to present it in a fashion that will generate an interest for the viewer, to the extent that the casual observer will become more concerned with preserving wildlife and their habitats rather than destroying entire ecosystems. Art is the best vehicle to introduce the public to those wild habitats that they would otherwise not have access. I make an attempt to take the viewer into this world with my paintings and to open a visual dialogue between these two diverse environments."

He has received numerous awards in national and regional exhibitions and has been included in many juried and invitational exhibitions. Showings include being accepted three times in the prestigious "Birds In Art" at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Wausau, WI. In those years his work was included in the Birds In Art National Tour and was selected to be included in a tour of museums and galleries in Japan. His painting "Pair of Moorhens" was one of the finalists in the "Art For The Park" exhibition in Jackson Hole, WY. Currently, Scott continues to exhibit throughout the United States.

His works are included in a great number of corporate and museum collections plus hundreds of private collections.

Bill's main thrust is the creation of original transparent watercolor paintings and when not out viewing nature and other reserves researching, he can be found painting in his San Antonio studio.
