Skot Horn - Toledo Artist

Born 1958, Fremont, Ohio.

Squeezing the paint out of the tube the night before painting may very well be the best discovery I've made in the studio. Creating a distance between myself and my work, like meditating, takes practice. It also makes any issues easier to see and resolve. I've also learned that it's better to stop before I'm finished and a good way to do that is by signing my name. For years I have used the pseudonym "Skot Horn." I call it my "Mark Twain" if anybody asks. It's primarily a visual preference.

Sometimes the concept of painting seems archaic in a technologically consumed world...
