Scott Bateman
Originally from Birmingham, I currently live in St Ives,
Cambridgeshire, UK and have been quite successful over the past few
years, selling to various galleries and private collectors in the UK.
I graduated from Lancaster University and gained a BA Honours in illustration.
The
best part about being an artist is the enjoyment I get from my work.
When I complete a piece of work, it's always a great feeling to take a
step back and feel happy about what I've just created. When others
appreciate my artwork and the effort that goes into it, then that makes
it all worthwhile.
My work can be described as colourful, vibrant
and quite quirky, and my main influential artists include Doug Hyde,
Mackenzie Thorpe, Peter Smith and Paul Horton. I paint in oil on canvas
and have had some success in selling originals and commissions through
my website and other various online galleries. I've also gained steady
popularity and built up a small but ever-expanding customer base over
the past eight years.
I completed a BA Honours in Illustration at
Lancaster University in 1997, then moved back to my home town of
Birmingham and subsequently decided to pursue a career in graphic design
as a design studio manager, while still drawing and painting in my
spare time. In 2005 I decided to try my hand at painting full time. Now
based in Cambridgeshire, I am a self-employed artist thoroughly enjoying
working in my current style.
