About Ruby R Scott: 

I am a visual artist located in the largest arts district in the nation, Sawyer Yards Silver Street Studios Suite 218, in the East Downtown Cultural District of Houston, Texas. I specialize in large acrylic and mixed-media collage paintings using upcycled materials. My art is displayed in a wide range of styles: abstract, figurative-abstract, impressionism, realism, modern, and contemporary. I have shown in multiple exhibitions: solo, group, juried, and collaborative, throughout the State of Texas. I accepted an invitation to represent the City of Houston in an international art show in Reno, Nevada, in 2024. I was recently published in “Entangled,” “A WiVLA Collaboration Project of Artists and Writers.” Creating is always wonderful, but it’s exhilarating when I witness collectors make solid connections with my art.
