Sawn Tree Epitaph, woodcut, 9" x 12", 2016
Peter Scott is a faculty member (Professor of the Practice) in the Department of Print, Paper and Graphic Arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. Media include intaglio processes (drypoint, engraving and etching techniques), photo-intaglio, monotype, collograph, relief printing (wood cut & wood engraving, relief etching), and related digital applications. Teaching also involves history & critical studies of print media.
His drawings were recently exhibited (March 2018, "Talking to Tiepolo") at Gallery NAGA in Boston, and, before that, at the Chandler Gallery of Maud Morgan Arts in Cambridge, MA, “Upon Closer Inspection,” a two-person show with Roger Kizik. In 2012 work was exhibited at the Johannesburg Art Gallery and the Aidekman Art Center at Tufts University, and, in 2009, at Gallery NAGA, Boston: "Common Grounds," a two-person exhibit with Paul Stopforth.
He has been guest artist and lecturer at Artist Proof Studio, Johannesburg, the University of Johannesburg, and the Durban Institute of Technology, Durban (2012 & 2005). He has also participated in residencies at the Vermont Studio Center (2016 and 2006) and the Franz Masereel Centrum, Belgium ('98), guest lecturer at the Machida Museum in Tokyo, The Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music, the Seika University in Kyoto, and artist-in-residence and curator, Johannesburg Biennale, South Africa.
His work is in the collections of the Boston Public Library, the Boston Athenaeum, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the New York Public Library, and The Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp.

artist statement:
While my work has been fixed on drawing, it has often extended and/or digressed into print, photo and digital media. The process of drawing remains central and insatiable, requiring new improvisational strategies. It also demands a level of understanding where any subject, however quirky, obscure, mundane or trite, can become unpredictably idealized. Recent work has been focused on highway vistas as well as commercial architecture and landscapes of urban fringe settings, often in the context of sketchbook studies. My current work has come out of my interest in the etchings of G. B. Tiepolo and the engravings of William Blake.
