Artist: Andrew Scott & Sarah Kathleen Wilson | Location: St. Augustine, FL
St. Augustine, FL
Andrew Scott Wilson is a full-time working artist, living, loving, and creating in St. Augustine, Florida, alongside his wife Sarah Kathleen Wilson. Andrew graduated from Flagler College in 2008 with a BFA and went on to teach middle school art for five years. Recently, he left the classroom to pursue his art fully, wholly, and collaboratively alongside Sarah.
Using his skillset in oil painting, Andrew digs for conceptual messages to display, most of which are derived from the personal chemistry and powerful emotion of his relationship with Sarah. The vulnerabilities, challenges, and outlook on their relationship shapes their outward modes of expression.
The scale of Andrew's work yields to his tall physical stature as well as his often kinetic application of paint to the canvas. The grandeur and size of the work can pull the viewer in from across the room to then reveal the accompaniment of Sarah's mode of expression, writing. Through journal-like personal compositions, Sarah speaks a voice that many can call their own. With the work being created simultaneously, the inspiration is woven.
Collaboratively, Andrew and Sarah's work appeals to an audience greater than that of just writing or painting alone. With an objective to shed light on the overlooked realities of society, Andrew and Sarah unwrap beauty through the marriage of imagery and words, breaking any ambiguity in the process.
