Scott McIntire

Scott McIntire was born and raised in the beautiful Willamette Valley in Oregon, where his love of nature deeply influenced his artistic perception. After moving to Portland, Oregon, Scott  began exhibiting his work in regional galleries and the Portland Art Museum. From the mid-1970s to the 1980s, his paintings were also shown in Seattle, Denver, Portland, San Francisco, and Hawaii. 

In the late 1970s, Scott taught drawing at the Pacific Northwest College of Art before moving to Puerto Rico in the mid-1980s. There, he continued to showcase his paintings of exotic flora and island landmarks in gallery and museum exhibitions. In 1994, He relocated to New York and began exhibiting his work in Cleveland, as well as in New York City and on Long Island. His work was featured in a major group exhibition titled "ENERGY, the Power of Art" at the Nassau County Museum of Art. Scott now resides and maintains his studio in Greenport, Long Island, NY.

Statement: My enduring fascination with nature and the environment has led me to explore an abstract direction: the visualization of sound. My current energy field paintings delve into the concept of sound visualization through concentric circles. Each circle serves as a source of sound emanating towards the viewer, and various colors represent distinct elements of sound, such as pitch, timbre, texture, volume, and duration. I  begin my paintings with a background color that provides a stimulus for placing these circles in diverse environments, situations, times of day, and moods.
