I Know Strange People
Ever see someone who has paint on their pants, tattoo sleeves, an asymmetrical haircut, and someone exclaims that guy/girl must be an artist? These are not the creatives I seek out to interview. There’s a romantic notion that artists need to be eccentric, but the real oddities usually happen behind closed doors. Explore the unconventional in the creative process through interviews with artists, and other creative types with host and artist Jeffrey Morabito.

Bill Scott: Painting in Limbo

Episode 14
Bill Scott was never looking to be an artist, it was like many other things - just in front of him. Following what was in front of him took him after art school to Paris where he had a chance encounter with Joan Mitchell that became a fruitful but complicated relationship. Bill’s paintings are like himself: they are meant to be seen from a distance and up close.
His solo exhibition " I Stood There Once" is at Hollis Taggart gallery from September 8th - October 8th.
