Bill Scott (born 1956 Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania)[1] is a contemporary abstract painter and printmaker who works and lives in Philadelphia.
Scott studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from rom 1974 to 1979,[2] and with the painter Jane Piper (1916–1991).
[3] In 1980, while living in Paris on a travel prize, he met the American abstract expressionist painter Joan Mitchell (1925–1992).
In 1991, in memory of his parents, Scott donated a collection of works on paper by contemporary women artists to Bryn Mawr College.
In this sense, Scott’s work continues the tradition of abstracted landscapes mastered by aestheticist artists such as Whistler.
