Richard Thomas Scott
Richard Thomas Scott is inspired by the works of Rembrandt, Andrew Newell Wyeth and Johannes Vermeer. Born in Conyers, Georgia, and now living in Hudson, New York, Scott is an American history painter best known for asking tough questions about world events or societal injustices through provocative and sometimes controversial imagery. Scott pursued a BFA in painting in the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia, followed by an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art. After graduation, he worked for two years as a painter for Jeff L. Koons, then three years as a studio assistant to Odd Nerdrum in Norway and Paris, France. Scott began work for the United States Mint in 2014 under the Artistic Infusion Program. His work has exhibited at the Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées in Paris, the Palazzo Cini in Venice, the Museu Europeu d'Art Modern in Barcelona, the Museum of New Art in Detroit and is part of collections worldwide such as The New Britain Museum of American Art, the Georgia Museum of Art, the European Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Arts, former British Arts Minister Alan Thomas Howarth of Newport, Prince Morad El Hattab and Robert C. Kennedy, Ph.D.

Artist Comments
Artist Gary Leonard juxtaposes a realistic figure clothed in a floral dress against a dreamy background that hints at a wild garden. The spotlight heightens her reserved gesture and timid expression while giving her skin a soft glow. Shadows on her face, neck, and body create a striking contrast to the lighter tones of the composition. "This work creates an atmosphere of calm, blending the woman's soft countenance and pastel greens of nature. "
About the Artist
Through composition, color, texture and more, Gary Leonard celebrates beauty. His works start with the subject, but then he lets the work evolve into a more complex composition. Oftentimes, he enjoys merging figures with abstract images and varying textures. He hopes that his works will leave the viewer with a sense of warmth and peace. When he's not making art, he enjoys listening to music and learning how to play the piano.
