Scott McIntire was born and raised in the beautiful Willamette Valley in Oregon, where his love of nature deeply influenced his artistic perception.

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.
