About Me

Introduction

Kathleen Scott, is a Canadian West Coast ceramic artist. She makes functional and sculptural ceramics. She is inspired by her ADD muse, her island home, Asian art forms, and colour.

My Artist Statement

Kathleen has been mostly working in slab the last few years and for 2020 started a year long koi challenge. 52 Koi/52 Weeks. Although the challenge has seemingly been derailed, (by an illness in the family and a pending move), behind the scenes she has been working on more elaborate and larger sculptured works. She volunteers her time to help run a community ceramics room, (when Covid rules permit), that she helped start over a year ago with a cofounding artist friend.
